No differentiation between virtual and physical infrastructures
Today’s IT departments have to struggle with demands on high availability to support the business and at the same time consolidate and decrease costs. To succeed you need to be able to effectively balance the demands of maximized return, mitigate risk, improve performance and increase agility. Virtualization, using Softwares like VMware, KVM or XEN, is a fast growing trend with a lot of pro’s helping an IT department to meet the demands from the business. Virtualization also increases the need of control since potential problems may have much more serious effects with several virtual servers on each physical and a more complex dependency structure. Whether you have 1, 10, 100 or 1000 servers, op5 Monitor helps you monitor your virtual infrastructure, giving you control and deliver savings, ease of use, scalability and the possibility to be agile and proactive in your IT operations.
If you are looking for detailed information on how to monitor virtual environments, please read our technical documentation on:
With our easy to use solution for proactive Network Monitoring, an IT department can monitor physical servers, switches, routers, ip-traffic, applications, measure service quality etc, AND also monitor the entire virtual infrastructure, from the physical hardware, the virtualization layer (hypervisor) such as VMware, to the services and applications running on the virtual servers. All presented in one single view in an easy to understand web based interface.
Multi level monitoring
- op5 Monitor monitors all levels of relevance to guarantee high IT service quality
- Physical environment
- Physical hardware
- Host OS and file system
- Storage back-end
- Virtual servers
- Applications
- Services
- Relationships and dependencies
- And the total resource utilization for a bird’s eye view.
Overview of benefits
- Service driven monitoring
- Multi level monitoring – the entire virtual environment in one easy to understand web based interface.
- Seamless integration between physical and virtual infrastructure monitoring
- Flexibility and scalability
Get in control of your virtual infrastructure – today
op5 Monitor enables you to easily establish a baseline of control that helps you determine the standard level of resource utilization for a physical or virtual workload. Details to track typically include CPU, memory, disk, and network performance. op5 Monitor does not only give this on every level, but also gives you a picture of the total physical and virtual resource utilization. Monitor your vmware servers in your standard op5 network monitoring tool.
Root-cause analysis and troubleshooting
Traditionally IT administrators have to spend a lot of time identifying where a problem is located (according to Gartner, up to 80% of the MTTR) before they can actually start fixing the problem. This is an even bigger problem in the virtual IT infrastructure, op5 Monitor is an active network monitoring tool that helps identifying the source of the problem in the virtual or physical environment and as such provides strong clues about resolving them. This can help you save up to 80% of valuable time, fixing problems.
Mapping relationships and dependencies
While virtual machines have their own operating systems, resource utilization is often tied to other activities on the same host server. op5 Monitor is able to identify VM’s and relate them to the physical computers on which they are running. It is also possible to group services to visualize dependencies and relationships so when planning downtime or problems occur it is easy to see what service are affected. It also enables the possibility to effectively track service level agreements.
Proactive IT-management
op5 Monitor enables the IT staff to become more agile and proactive, generating alerts via the control interface, email or SMS whenever resource utilization exceeds certain thresholds with the possibility tot up escalation schedules for serious problems.
op5 Monitor is built on open source
op5 Monitor is based on Nagios and utilises a range of open source standard technologies such as SNMP, OS clients and vendor specific data to extract and combine a user friendly central web based network monitoring solution, suitable for monitoring virtual IT environments such as VMware, KVM or Xen.
op5 always delivers the systems with full access to the source code so that our customers can modify the systems to their specific needs.
