IT management software developer SolarWinds has announced the forthcoming release of its Server & Application Monitor (SAM), which is at the heart of the company’s full suite of systems and application management products.
Designed to deliver agentless performance and availability monitoring, alerting, and reporting for over 150 applications and server types, the latest version of SolarWinds SAM will now enable server and application management directly from the product’s Web console.
Remediation capabilities include starting and stopping services, killing rogue processes, and rebooting services, among others. Other new and updated features in SolarWinds SAM include:
- Server hardware health monitoring support for popular blade chassis (including HP C7000, HP C3000 and Dell M1000e).
- Native Windows Volume Mount Point monitoring.
- Storage volume performance metrics used in finding server issues caused by latency, queued disk I/O, and high IOPS.
- Windows Server network performance monitoring for bandwidth usage and errors.
- Extended integration with System Center 2012 through updated SolarWinds Management Pack for System Center Operations Manager.
- Improved Managed Service Provider (MSP) support to include new remote pollers, providing increased deployment flexibility to support distributed environments and MSP-style architectures
