Create a logical view of your heterogeneous IT infrastructure by grouping resources, such as applications, servers, and systems in your network. We call the logical view a 'Monitor Group' and the applications and servers are 'Monitor Types'. Each of the instance of a Monitor Type is called as 'Monitors'. This gives you an integrated view for effective monitoring and management.
For example, the performance of an online web application depends on various factors, such as the health of the application server hosting the web application, the availability of the web server for accessing the web applications, the database server for storing or getting the required information, etc. These web applications and services can be grouped together and monitored as a single business application.
It allows us to track crucial metrics such as response times, resource utilization, error rates, and transaction performance. The real-time monitoring alerts promptly notify us of any issues or anomalies, enabling us to take immediate action.
