Monitoringsystem Peter Langhout Reizen
second move delivers advanced monitoringsystem
Sometimes websites are no more than an internet-based brochure. If such a static site fails, it's annoying but no more than that. But if a website gives access to applications that are part of your primary businessprocess, failure becomes unacceptable.
At Peter Langhout Reizen, such failures where the exception rather than the rule. Nonetheless, due to inadequate notification, failures simply weren't detected leading to unacceptable downtime. Hence, Peter Langhout Reizen requested Second Move to investigate existing monitoring tools in order to improve the uptime of the web applications.
Second Move's monitoringsystem in action.
Our research resulted in a report that compared various monitoring systems. Based on the result of the comparison, Peter Langhout Reizen opted for a system based on SNMP and MRTG, complemented with several other tools and utilities. This choice ensured an easy to configure platform independent solution.
After delivering the research results Peter Langhout Reizen requested Second Move to implement their monitoring system based on the selected tools. In consultation with their applicationmanager and their networkmanager the system- and networkfunctions to be monitored were determined. After implementing and testing an SMS based notification mechanism, we configured their monitoring system and had it up and running within 5 days after delivering the initial report.
