GroundWork Monitor 3 provides low-cost enterprise-class system monitoring

Built for the Enterprise

GroundWork Monitor changes the economics of IT operations management. Built on an innovative open source architecture, GroundWork Monitor delivers enterprise-class IT monitoring more quickly and cost effectively than expensive, inflexible, traditional solutions that too often end up gathering dust.

GroundWork provides centralized visibility and control over your entire IT infrastructure. It monitors systems, applications, databases, and network equipment. Employing a wide array of agent-based and agent-less monitoring techniques, GroundWork Monitor meets customer requirements for efficiency, speed, overhead and maintenance. It features an attractive, intuitive user interface, and a flexible architecture that supports custom configurations, custom reporting, and the integration of multiple IT data sources.

The system provides real time status views, detailed component views and robust reporting of availability and performance trends, alert history, and event logs. If any indicator dips below acceptable levels, GroundWork Monitor alerts IT staff contacts via email, pager or phone call. GroundWork Monitor is completely scalable, so it continues to provide coverage as your needs and infrastructure grow. The system integrates seamlessly with third-party monitoring systems and other IT management applications, providing a single view of your entire IT infrastructure.

BUILT ON OPEN SOURCE

GroundWork Monitor is built on a modern architecture that combines the best of open source with innovative software developed by GroundWork’s IT management experts. Starting with core open source components such as Nagios (an availability monitoring tool), Jetspeed (a Web portal framework) and MySQL (the leading open source database), GroundWork has added performance monitoring, a portal-based user interface, management level reporting and powerful configuration tools. The result is a complete, integrated system.

GroundWork Monitor’s foundation of open source software supports a solution that is affordable, highly flexible and configurable to accommodate customers’ varied and rapidly changing environments. Unlike many leading IT monitoring solutions, GroundWork takes an accommodative, agnostic view towards point solutions that handle specific tasks well. GroundWork Monitor integrates easily with these tools and can serve as a “manager of managers” for customers seeking unified visibility and dashboard views of their IT infrastructure. GroundWork’s open source architecture features GroundWork’s own free, open source tools designed to support key functions in GroundWork Monitor. These tools also work independently as add-ons for Nagios, a leading open source systems monitoring tool.

If you require an advanced or specialized monitoring solution, or simply prefer professional deployment of GroundWork Monitor, GroundWork Services will deliver a complete design, installation and configuration of your monitoring system.
