ManageEngine OpManager Monitoring

Overview

ManageEngine OpManager is a comprehensive network  management software for heterogeneous, multi-vendor enterprise IT networks. It offers advanced fault and performance management functionality across critical IT resources viz. network devices, WAN or VoIP links, servers, virtual servers, Domain controllers, MS Exchange, MS SQL and other IT infrastructure components.
Applications Manager provides you with critical information (like CPU and memory usage, thread count and PGSQL database details) essential to track the performance of OpManager. Get instant notifications when there are performance issues. Become aware of performance bottlenecks and take quick remedial actions before your end users experience issues.

ManageEngine OpManager - Creating a new monitor

Mode of Monitoring: Remote JMX
For PGSQL DB, statistics will be collected by connecting to the database.

To create an ManageEngine OpManager Monitor, follow the steps given below:

  1. Specify the Display Name of the ManageEngine OpManager monitor.
  2. Enter the HostName or IP Address of the host where OpManager is running.
  3. Enter the JMX Port where OpManager is running. By default, it will be 8080.
  4. Enter the credential details like user name, password and JNDIPath or select credentials from a Credential Manager list.
  5. Click Monitor PGSQL Database for PGSQL stats. (Enter DataBase Name, DataBasePort, UserName and Password).
  6. Enter the polling interval time in minutes.
  7. Choose the Monitor Group from the combo box with which you want to associate ME OpManager Monitor (optional). You can choose multiple groups to associate your monitor.
  8. Click Add Monitor(s). This discovers OpManager from the network and starts monitoring.

Note:
In case you are unable to add the monitor even after enabling JMX, try providing the below argument:
  -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=[YOUR_IP]

Monitored Parameters

Go to the Monitors Category View by clicking the Monitors tab. Click on ME OpManager under the Web Server/ ServicesTable. Displayed is the OpManager bulk configuration view distributed into three tabs:

  • Availability tab gives the Availability history for the past 24 hours or 30 days.
  • Performance tab gives the Health Status and events for the past 24 hours or 30 days.
  • List view enables you to perform bulk admin configurations.
