Monitoring & Analytics - Real-time Metrics

Description

Germain’s previous query services was good at answering historical questions for a given time range, but not really geared towards answering questions about the current state of a monitored entity. Example questions that this new Real-Time Metric service can address:

What is the current state of server X or database Y?
How many users are currently active on our prod environment?
How many users are currently impacted by the crash of component Z?
How many JS errors were there in the last minute?
Which engines are currently collecting data?

In other words, this new Real-time Metric service can provide: Status of Monitored Infrastructure Show availability of a server over last 30s, 1min, 5min on configuration / management view KPI Data Counts Show KPIs for which we collect data - show counts for each Real-time Gauge Portlet Gauge control that is updated every few seconds to show the current average (ex. number of concurrent users) Dynamic Top-n Lists Dynamically updating list of data grouped by some dimension - updates ranking in real time, positions & average response times change

List of slowest user sessions in the past 5 minutes
List of processes on a server by CPU usage (updated every 5 seconds, similar to Linux top command)

Live Network Map Map of network requests that updates in real-time as traffic patterns change

Maintenance - Configuration Console

Description

Our new Configuration Console is ready. This is a -major- milestone for us and our clients, as this new configuration console allows organizations to implement monitoring, analytics and automation, at scale, and consolidate all of it. (Our old configuration console was built in plain javaScript, and had many limitations, and essentially prevented customers to scale, one of the reasons why we decided to build this new configuration console leveraging the best JavaScript framework on the market)

Benefits

Reduced meantime to add/remove/maintain any Monitoring, Analytics, Automation (alerting, synthetic transaction, script execution, etc) and Dashboard (dashboards can also be created on the fly, as a result of a search, etc)
Enhanced user experience.

Examples of how much time is saved with this new Configuration Console:

	Configuration Task	Now	Before
Automation	SQL execution (configure a query to update or get data)	5-10 min	30-60 min
Click Execution(configure one/a scenario of synthetic click(s))	15 min	impossible
HTTP Synthetic Execution	5-10 min	30 min
Alert(sms, email)	1 min	5 min
Monitoring	ApplicationMonitoring	2-3 min	15 min
DesktopMonitoring	2-3 min	15 min
Business ProcessMonitoring	5-10 min	40 min
Management	User & Role Creation	1 min	5 min
Start & Stop Maintenance Period	10 sec	impossible
Identify Running State & location of any Automation and Monitoring	5 sec	hours

Important Note: this new configuration console allows you create hundreds, thousand of entities within a few clicks (the above time saving is for configuring unique/distinct entities but then it take just a few exact seconds to copy and paste so you have hundreds of them configured)
