Best practices for database performance optimization

Proactive database performance monitoring is essential to maintain resource utilization and system performance. As data volumes grow, it is critical to monitor databases properly to deliver a seamless enduser experience, and lower IT infrastructure costs. Pinpointing database issues as they occur can assist in faster troubleshooting, and keeping the health of the application intact. Without monitoring, database outages may go unnoticed, and lead to loss of business reputation and profit.

Complement your network monitoring with SNMP traps

Network device monitoring with Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) gives you complete visibility into the health and availability of your network devices. Monitoring tools conduct periodic checks to gather device status and performance metrics. The device's status is updated only when a check is initiated by the monitoring system in the defined time interval. Any fault that happens in between polls is only captured when the next check is initiated.

Key metrics for monitoring JVM performance

It has been 25 years since Java came into existence, and it is still one of the preferred platforms among enterprise applications. As technologies evolved, Java's functionality and programming flexibility also matured in parallel, positioning it as a relevant language for over two decades. New memory management systems and garbage collection algorithms are an outstanding example of this evolution.

Service and process monitoring: At a glance

With Site24x7 Server Monitoring, you can track the availability and system-level metrics of your servers, including CPU, memory, disk usage, and more. But did you know that you can also monitor the performance of each and every service and process running on your servers? Don't fall behind Almost all applications rely on a large number of services (for Windows) and processes (for Linux) to run smoothly and effectively.

Breaking down network complexities with network mapping

Is it possible for network engineers to gain complete visibility over all the components in an enterprise network? With new devices constantly connecting and disconnecting, creating a mental image of the entire network is impossible. This is where network mapping comes in. Using Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), you can see a visual representation of your network and every connected device for an easy-to-understand look at your dynamic network.

The role of infrastructure management in optimizing digital transformation

Digital transformation has now become a reality. It has moved a long way from being an option to a necessity, especially after the outbreak of COVID-19. While every department in an organization is being digitized, businesses reckon digital experience management as a key strategy in optimizing their transformation journey and also in creating a robust business model.

Log management: The key to centralized log aggregation and easy troubleshooting

A large number of security breaches are impacting industry verticals, including banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI), telecom, and hospitality, so there's a growing need for organizations to fortify their infrastructure against these threats. For example, by the time T-Mobile identified the intrusion and unauthorized access to its sensitive data in 2019, both its customer and employee details were already stolen by hackers.

Are third-party tools necessary to monitor your VMware infrastructure?

Monitoring every resource in your VMware environment is crucial to avoid sudden issues and ensure proper capacity planning. Although VMware offers its own monitoring suite, organizations frequently seek out third-party monitoring tools. The start of this trend dates back to the early days of vSphere, and it has only continued to increase. This is because third-party tools provide monitoring for the compute, storage, network, and analytics aspects of VMware environments, all from a single interface.

The cloud ecosystem and how start-ups can effectively manage it

The cloud is becoming the vehicle for next-generation digital business and has emerged as the go-to platform for start-ups looking to thrive in today's highly dynamic and competitive market. Traditional on-premises IT solutions require higher investments in hardware, software licenses, maintenance, and training costs, which makes them ill-suited for start-ups.

Is server monitoring crucial for your business?

While some companies have never experienced a serious outage in services, it's still smart to invest in a monitoring tool for detecting server downtime. In doing so, it's possible to diagnose problems before they spiral out of control. Organizations may first consider free, open-source tools as a cost-effective alternative to paid enterprise versions. However, these free tools require deeper technical understanding to use them efficiently, with regular manual configurations and updates.
