Y1
Alerter Design Resources
When you contact us
about Y1 Alerter, we'll start with a "Discovery Analysis".
Design of the NMAS is based
upon the list of devices you want to monitor. From the list provided below
and a general concept of the level of monitoring, alerting, and management
desired we'll start to design the system. The build includes development
of a “Centralized Log System” with capabilities for your network and server
services. It will also take into consideration adding more devices to
expand general capabilities, provided these will not create restrictions on the
operations of the NMAS.
NMAS design for a final solution could be configured to include:
- 2D
graphical map of monitored devices on local and remote sites. The
monitored devices and sites will be depicted on the 2D map as different
colored icons represent the status and availability.
- Collect
disk, memory, nic, and CPU utilization statistics from servers at
configurable intervals. These statistics will be used to update the 2D
graphical map and to trigger alarms when configurable thresholds are
exceeded.
- Monitor
Windows NT4.0/2000/2003 and Unix based server event logs and notify
appropriate personal of occurrences of particular events. The event
logs monitoring and alerting systems, can collect network, systems,
application, and security events in the form of SysLog, SNMP/or email
notifications and will be stored in a database.
- Monitor
Windows 2000/2003 event logs and notify appropriate personal of occurrences
of particular events.
- LAN
(Local Area Network) data switch port network utilization and status, switch
back plane utilization and VLAN utilization from Ethernet switches at
configurable intervals.
- WAN (Wide
Area Network) Link statistics and status, network interface utilization
statistics, processor utilization statistics and memory utilization
statistics from network routers and/or Layer-3 Ethernet switches at
configurable intervals.
- WAN
circuit (T1) status from multiplexer equipment.
- Wireless
LAN Access Point status, radio statistics, and utilization statistics from
APs. These statistics will be used to update the 2D graphical map and
to trigger alarms when configurable thresholds are exceeded Alarm status
will be represented as “Normal” or “Failure”.
- Collect
status from Storage Area Network Fiber Channel Switch fabric
equipment. Fiber Channel switch fabric should be depicted in 2D
map with individual components and fiber links represented.
- Alarm
port status from any other bi-state/analog alarm devices and network
appliance – provided these devices are enabled to provide the required
NMAS data.
- Updating
SNMP OID values on bi-state/analog alarm network appliance from the 2D map.
This capability can be used to control analog devices connected to the
bi-state/alarm network appliance.
- Updating
SNMP OID values on network routers and switches from the 2D map. This
capability can be used to change/add IP addresses on network interfaces, add
static routes, disable network interfaces, and reset the router or switch.
- Provide
alarming for both threshold exceptions (SNMP Traps) and polled statistics
that fall out of definable threshold ranges.
- Provided
notifications of fail-overs in high availability server clusters.
Y1 will provide all
specifications from above selected items for review and your final approval.
The above is an abbreviated list. Please ask us to show you the entire Y1
Alerter when you call or email us.
Y1's goal is to provide
high-quality
expertise to minimize your on-going cost while maximizing performance,
reliability, and profitability.
