With so much emphasis given to virtualization – 75 percent of all X86 servers are virtualized – the other 25 percent of physical servers are treated like second-class citizens despite the fact that they run operating systems that support every application, database and network in your environment. This Dell Software webcast discusses the metrics and best practices associated with unified host monitoring. It looks at everything from disk-activity monitoring to log-file content monitoring.

The goal of intelligent server monitoring is to identify when a problem starts and isolate its cause with detailed metrics and real-time dashboard graphics. Most monitoring solutions offer very high level host-monitoring capabilities, especially for specialty servers, such as application and/or database performance.
Intelligent server monitoring will go beyond that in several ways.

  • More detailed server information.

  • Enhanced application/program process monitoring.

  • Log-file monitoring to track specific processes.

  • Scalability – monitor just what you need to monitor.

  • Inter-server relationships that share resources such as storage arrays.
