Single Source of Truth
Without a comprehensive view of the infrastructure, the IT teams struggle to identify the root cause of issues, leading to longer resolution times and increased frustration for users. Trace9 offers comprehensive monitoring of networks, IT assets, and applications in a single pane of glass, allowing IT teams to proactively anticipate, recognize, and mitigate performance issues before they cause downtime.
Problem Statement:
How can you ensure that your IT systems are performing well, available, and secure without spending too much time and effort on monitoring them? Traditional monitoring processes can be tedious and inefficient, often requiring you to manually check for issues, find out what’s wrong, and fix them. This can cause problems to linger longer, affect your system’s uptime, and lower your IT team’s productivity.
Solution:
Imagine if you could automate your IT monitoring process and let the tools and technologies do the work for you. IT monitoring automation is a process that helps you detect, diagnose, and resolve issues in your IT systems automatically or with minimal human input. It involves using tools and technologies that monitor your IT systems, gather data, analyze it, and take action to fix issues. This way, you can save time and effort, improve your system’s performance, availability, and security, and boost your IT team’s productivity.
This use case describes how Trace9 enables organizations to Monitoring Automation is a big challenge in the IT industry and that's why silos of tools run under one IT and are unable to solve the leadership and business challenges.
Preconditions: The organization has deployed Trace9 as their unified monitoring solution for their value Chain Monitoring.
Automation Trace9 automation allows organizations to automate various tasks and processes associated with monitoring and managing their IT infrastructure. This can help organizations reduce the time and effort required to manage their infrastructure, improve efficiency, and reduce the risk of errors. Here are some examples of how Trace9 can be used for automation:
Define Virtualization Metrics:
The first step in virtualization monitoring with Trace9 is to define the virtualization metrics that you want to monitor. This may include CPU usage, memory usage, storage usage, and network traffic, and other key performance indicators that are relevant to your virtualized infrastructure.
Collect Virtualization Performance Data:
Once you have defined the virtualization metrics, you need to collect virtualization performance data over time. Trace9 provides plugins and add-ons that can be used to collect this data, such as agent, WHI, shell, PowerShell, SSSH or SNMP plugins, VMware plugins, and custom plugins.
Analyze Virtualization Performance Data:
After collecting virtualization performance data, you need to analyze this data to identify patterns or trends in virtualization usage. This can help you identify potential issues before they impact your operations and take proactive steps to address them.
Set Thresholds:
Based on your analysis of virtualization performance data, you need to set thresholds for acceptable levels of performance. This can help you identify potential issues before they impact your operations and take proactive steps to address them.
Monitor Virtualization Performance:
Once you have set thresholds, you need to monitor virtualization performance to ensure that your virtualized infrastructure is performing optimally. This can help you identify potential issues and take proactive steps to address them.
Receive Notifications:
Trace9 allows you to configure notifications to alert you when thresholds are breached or potential issues are detected. This can help you take immediate action to resolve issues before they impact your operations.
Configuration Monitoring Management:
Trace9 provides configuration monitoring management capabilities that allow you to define and manage your infrastructure monitoring configuration. This includes defining network, hosts, services, and checks, as well as configuring notification rules and thresholds. With automation, you can automatically apply these configurations across your infrastructure, reducing the time and effort required for manual configuration.
Provisioning and Deprovisioning:
When adding new hosts or services to your infrastructure, you can use automation to provision them automatically, including configuring monitoring checks and adding them to relevant host groups. Similarly, when removing hosts or services, you can use automation to deprovision them automatically, removing them from monitoring and alerting systems.
Remediation:
Automation can be used to automatically remediate issues identified by Trace9. For example, if a service check fails, an automation script can be triggered to perform predefined actions, such as restarting a service or sending an alert to a support team.
Reporting:
Trace9 automation can be used to automate the generation of reports, such as performance reports or availability reports. This can help you quickly identify trends and issues across your infrastructure and take proactive steps to address them.
Integration:
