Features

Germain is configured to monitor Uptime and Performance of Linux servers. In order to access this information, a Germain UX Engine(s) or Germain UX Agent(s) establishes an SSH connection to the monitored system periodically and execute a series of commands:

Command

/bin/cat /proc/meminfo

sar –B 1 1

vmstat 1 2

vmstat 1 2

df –l

iostat –d –x

netstat –inet –na --tcp

sar –n DEV 1 3

/proc/uptime

ps –A

Each of these commands can be individually configured and also disabled, if for some reason it is undesirable to collect any one of the OS metrics.
