"Monitoring as simple as 1, 2, 3"
That is what they all say about us
"Operations Manager successor. Simply does the job right."
Marcin Chief IT Officer
How It Works
Each Arm - a windows service installed on the server you want to monitor - constantly monitors key performance indicators, such as CPU usage, memory usage, hard drive free space, windows services and windows event log. They report them real-time to Starfish Monitor.
Starfish Monitor is a central windows service that receives this information and generates alarms, if monitored value exceeds specfied threshold.
You can log-in to Starfish Monitor via web browser to examine open alarms and close them. Each alarm generates a notification, that you can receive via email.
Starfish Monitor implements sophisticated alarm comparison mechanism, so you'll get each notification only once and won't be swamped with hundreds emails with almost the same error message.
