Infrastructure & Operations Challenges

§ What’s the health of the infrastructurecomponents supporting my applications?

§ I can’t deploy agents everywhere, but I needto know how my infrastructure is performing?

§ How do I know if my sites / apps / devices godown during off hours?

§ What’s the real root cause? Is it theapplication, infrastructure or network?


WMI

SteelCentral NetSensor

Collect metrics via polling or

remote instrumentation

Displays availability and performance information in SteelCentral Portal for consolidated network, app & infrastructure troubleshooting.

Archive and roll-up

Broad-based infrastructure component monitoring & synthetic testing

SNMP

Synthetic Testing

• Network device performance metrics • Windows performance metrics • Availability and response time

SteelCentral NetSensor


Synthetic Testing Overview

§ Monitors device, application or service round the clock across dispersed locations – Detailed view of why and when the

downtime occurred

– Percentage of time the monitored object was available

– Reachability, availability and response time from different geographical locations


Synthetic Testing Enhancements

§ New –  LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access

Protocol) – Test passes or fails based on availability of

directory service provider like Active Directory – Checks for a specific values in directory

service database

§ Enhanced – HTTP / HTTPS – Proxy server support – NT LAN Manager (NTLM) authentication – Selenium – Sample tests for testing Google apps and sites

on Microsoft SharePoint

New and improved test types


Test Results Details § Enhanced reporting of results to show details of passed or failed tests § Clickable time series charts § Pie-chart representation of results for rolled up durations


§ Support for Linux – RHEL6, RHEL7 – CentOS, Scientific Linux, Oracle Enterprise Linux –  32-bit or 64-bit process

§ Test engine communicates via HTTP or HTTPS – Secure communication is now controlled by NetSensor server

§ Automatic restart when necessary § Auto check software versions of Test Engines and notify operator of status § Ability to assign time zone and business hours to devices § New grouping rules to facilitate groups based on geographic locations

Linux Platform Support, Enhanced Security, Ease of Use Synthetic Test Engine Enhancements


§ NetSensor metrics are displayed in SteelCentral Portal

§  Integrated viewing of application, infrastructure and network performance data for faster troubleshooting

Your single source of truth for performance data SteelCentral Portal Integration


SharePoint Support § Poll WMI metrics from SharePoint

servers –  73 different metrics across web front-end,

application & database tiers

§ Monitor performance of SharePoint apps using synthetic testing – HTTP –  TCP port – Selenium

§ All SharePoint metrics displayed in SteelCentral Portal


§ Ability to selectively filter (include or exclude) network interfaces polled by SNMP – Easy-to-use wizard-based process – Offers more precise control over polling – Enables more efficient use of resources – Reduces amount of network traffic

introduced by poller.
