GroundWork Monitor Professional

Optimized towards a single-site or department-level monitoring deployment, GroundWork Monitor Professional is designed to provide a comprehensive, supported solution that satisfies the monitoring, alerting and reporting needs of the organization, from system administrator to executive.

GroundWork Monitor Professional includes an integrated, tested and supported stack of open source components to create a robust yet flexible monitoring platform. This platform is augmented with the features needed to create a complete monitoring solution for critical business systems.

Wide Operating System Support

GroundWork Monitor provides integrated management and monitoring of servers covering the widest range of operating systems, including Linux, Unix, Windows, Netware, AIX and more.

Advanced Service Level Management

Through Executive-level dashboards, and robust business reporting, you can quickly confirm that your IT systems and network devices are adhering to service level and operating level agreements.

• Executive-level Dashboards
  With the Executive-level Dashboard functionality, systems administrators can create dashboards that suit individual preferences and achieve the desired management perspectives. Using the included dashboard builder customized dashboards can be quickly created. Role-based permissions determine which dashboards a user can access and control read-only or read-modify permissions.
• Advanced Reporting
  GroundWork Monitor Professional includes many common operational and strategic reports including service availability, historical availability and performance trends and log analysis. The BIRT report designer is provided to organizations with clear visibility into their IT service levels. The reports help visualize multiple data feeds, maps, performance data and events. Standard service level reports come bundled with GroundWork Monitor.

Integrated Console

The high-volume monitoring event console enables NOC operators and administrators to respond to critical events by cutting through the sea of monitoring events to the small number that require immediate attention. Using the GroundWork Actions API the event console can be linked to related systems including trouble-ticketing and enterprise run-books.

Monitoring best practices

GroundWork Monitor Professional includes profiles for monitoring many different types of device and application. Additional profiles are available on the GroundWork Connect portal, included with the GroundWork Professional subscription, enabling rapid set-up of your monitoring solution.

Sophisticated Alerts and Notifications

GroundWork Monitor provides a sophisticated and comprehensive alarming and notification mechanism with escalation rules to alert you of breached thresholds and potential problems. GroundWork Monitor Professional provides automatic event/alarm pre-processing to reduce the incidence of derived, spurious, and false alarms while still ensuring that actual outages are reliably reported.
