In today's competitive IT market, you cannot take a chance to leave your customers with the error message, "This site is not reachable", even for a minute. OpManager's real-time uptime monitor periodically scans the health and availability of your IT infrastructure components and helps ensure your network is up and running 24/7. With constant monitoring of website uptime, you can providently identify website problems before they escalate into substantial downtime and lost revenue.
The various features offered by OpManager to monitor uptime are:
OpManager uses ICM/Ping, TCP, and SNMP to monitor network, server, or website uptime.
Monitoring uptime via ICMP/Ping
OpManager uses ICMP as the default protocol to monitor network uptime. You can use ICMP monitoring for larger networks and ICMP-enabled environments. OpManager sends ping packets to the destination device to check packet loss, availability, and response time.
Monitoring uptime via TCP
TCP-based uptime monitoring can be used for environments that don't use abundant traffic such as the mid-scale industries. You can use OpManager's TCP-based monitoring for ping-disabled environments or the ones that prefer TCP monitoring for security reasons.
Monitoring uptime via SNMP
You can monitor network uptime via SNMP only if all the devices are SNMP enabled. OpManager uses SNMP v1, v2, and v3 to ping devices and track the response to check availability and calculate response time.
Real-time website uptime monitoring
With OpManager's URL monitor, you can monitor crucial websites for availability and performance around the clock or custom period. You can configure a URL monitor to monitor HTTP/HTTPS URLs, virtual hosts, and the intranet. OpManager's website uptime monitoring restores compromised websites immediately; monitors web server farms; determines if parts of your web application are down; monitors web applications with a login; monitors NTML authenticated websites; and more.
The URL monitor also lets you monitor and view the device availability in percentage and response time in milliseconds under the same roof-- either in the monitor-configuring page or the individual URL summary page. With the web alarms, you can quickly drill down to the issue and troubleshoot before it affects the end-users.
Severity-based active alerting on website downtime
When an issue arises, you cannot even waste a second; you need to be aware of the issue the next moment. With the monitored data, OpManager quickly alerts you on the issue based on the severity. For device status polling alarms, OpManager has different severity levels such as Attention, Trouble, Critical, Service Down, Clear, and Unknown.
OpManager's alerting mechanism includes various notification channels such as SMS, Email, slack messages, Syslog messages, SNMP traps, ticket logs, and more. You can also configure to run a command or pre-loaded scripts for specific alarms.
Monitoring website uptime for better incident management
Getting to know a website incident isn't adequate; you have to find the cause of the problem. OpManager's root cause analysis and netpath analysis help you find the issue, locate devices, and troubleshoot them quickly.
Root cause analysis(RCA):RCA offers a consolidated window where you can visualize network monitoring information and quickly drill down to the root of the issue. This accelerates the fault identification process, ensuring maximum network uptime.
Netpath analysis: OpManager's in-house network path analysis tool helps you monitor and visualize the network path. It tracks hop-by-hop performance across various paths between a source and a destination. This way, find the shortest route for data transfer; fix latency issues; and reduce MTTR, improving network uptime.
Summary reports on website health and availability
OpManager's availability summary reports display URL availability by calculating the URL's uptime and checking if the URL is up; on hold; on maintenance; dependent unavailable; down, or not monitored. You can export these reports as PDFs for future reference or even configure them to schedule them to be delivered to your inbox.
Integrate OpManager with Applications Manager for uninterrupted website operations
Integrate Application Manager to OpManager to monitor website uptime at the optimum and experience seamless website operations with its extensive features such as:
Synthetic monitoring: With Application Manager as an add-on, you can monitor how your websites and web applications perform for the end-users. You can gain a holistic view of the status of your web scripts and transactions across multiple geographic locations.
SSL monitoring: Applications Manager automates the process of checking the validity of your SSL/TLS certificates irrespective of the protocols employed. This helps you avoid unplanned certificate expiration and ensure that your web servers never capitulate insecure connections.
Real User Monitoring (RUM): With RUM, you can gain in-depth insights on web transactions, user sessions, AJAX calls, Javascript errors, etc., and also understand website performance by browsers, device types, geographies, and ISPs.
Page speed reports: Monitoring websites helps you track page loading time across various time intervals. These reports tell you how to improve page speed on different devices.
Identify website changes: With website uptime monitoring, you can prevent unauthorized changes to a website and ensure data validity. In case of unauthorized changes, restore your original content in clicks.
FAQs on Uptime monitor
What is uptime monitoring?
+
Uptime is the measure of availability of a server or any network component to its end users. The process of checking the availability of network devices at regular intervals is called uptime monitoring. Uptime monitoring helps ensure all the components remain functional without experiencing downtime.
How does uptime monitoring work?
+
Uptime can be monitored by performing availability checks at regular intervals using Internet Message Protocol (ICMP) ping and Telnet. Uptime monitor sends pings to network components at continuous intervals. If the network component fails to respond over the two attempts, it is categorized as an unavailable device.
