Monitoring FreeBSD Made Easy

Applications Manager monitors the performance of FreeBSD Systems. First, Applications Manager discovers each FreeBSD machine and then monitors the CPU activity, complete memory utilization, and local and remote system statistics.

The FreeBSD Management feature optimizes FreeBSD system performance, delivers comprehensive management reports and ensures availability through automated event detection and correction. Applications Manager also monitors processes that are running in the FreeBSD system.

Some of the components that are monitored in FreeBSD are:

FreeBSD Monitoring Capabilities

• Out-of-the-box management of FreeBSD availability and performance.
• Monitors performance statistics such as CPU utilization, memory utilization, disk utilization, and response time.
• Mode of monitoring includes Telnet , SNMP and SSH.
• Monitors processes running in FreeBSD systems.
• Based on the thresholds configured, notifications and alarms are generated if the FreeBSD system or any specified attribute within the system has problems. Actions are executed automatically based on configurations.
• Performance graphs and reports are available instantly. Reports can be grouped and displayed based on availability, health, and connection time.
• Delivers both historical and current FreeBSD performance metrics, delivering insight into the performance over a period of time.
• Monitors memory usage and detects top consumers of memory.

Blog on : In-house scripts for Root Cause Analysis?

Had an interesting question in our forums - Is there a place I could put a link to our in-house docs in that root cause? For instance, if I have a check configured that runs a custom script on the server and this script fails, Could I put a URL link in the root cause so our level 1 techs could go there and run their own tests before escalating the problem to the engineers?..... read full blog
