OpenMaster SLM Application Governor for Internet Services

Internet server management

Application Governor for Internet Services is an optional component of OpenMaster SLM. It provides centralized monitoring and management of Internet middleware:

• Web servers
• FTP servers
• SMTP mail servers
• DNS servers

Managing Internet servers involves some specific constraints:

• The wide visibility of Internet applications: unavailability has a huge impact
• Web applications available to users around the world: availability is important 24 hours a day, 365 days a year
• The large number of objects to manage, both inside and outside the enterprise firewalls
• Heterogeneous applications and platforms, often interacting strongly with applications, databases, and infrastructure components, but managers need synthetic reporting by business function
• The need for a clear view of the interaction between Internet servers and back-end applications and databases

Application Governor for Internet Services provides:

• Specific maps for FTP, HTTP, SMTP, DNS primary services
• Performance and availability monitoring
• Predefined alarms
• Connection status: performance by port
• Service descriptions
• Actions: service start and stop, application launch
• Page availability tests
• On-demand and periodic reporting
• Easy navigation to associated systems
