Monitor to know if your scripts, agents, workers, daemons are
continuously running as expected. Youwill be given a unique ping
URL for every heartbeat monitor added in Site24x7.
With a simple HTTP request to the {display name} endpoint of the
URL, you will know if your task is able to communicate with your
server or not. Also, you can set up thresholds and be alerted when
they don't ping back.
Hadoop Monitoring

Executing the above command in your Hadoop NameNode will add a


monitor for each NameNode, DataNode and YARN in Site24x7
Each Hadoop NameNode, DataNode, and YARN will consume one basic
monitor license
Make sure auto discover applications on the server in the server monitor
settings is set to 'Yes'
Supported from Linux agent version 17.5.0
Zookeeper Monitoring

Each Zookeeper monitor will consume one basic monitor license.


Make sure auto discover applications on the server in the server
monitor settings is set to 'Yes'
Supported from Linux agent version 17.5.0

sessions, locks, and wait statistics.

Proactive measures to prevent


bottlenecks and potential performance
downtime.
Oracle Instance and PDB monitoring
Real-time performance metrics: Trackcritical performance metrics for your Oracle Database,
including the response times, hit ratios, redo logs, Program Global Area (PGA) details, System
Global Area (SGA) details, and Automatic Storage Management (ASM) disk group details—all
accessible through a unified and comprehensive console.

In-depth PDB monitoring: Gain granular visibility into individual PDBs, including active and
inactive sessions, database size, used and available percentage, and transaction specifics to
efficiently oversee and enhance your Oracle database instances.

Exclusive tablespace monitoring: See the real-time status, size, usage, and availability of all
the tablespaces under your instances and PDBs, and manage them skillfully.

Dashboards and reports for analysis: Analyze the overall performance of your Oracle
instance environment and your individual PDBs, and detect performance outages using built-in
reports and the Oracle Health Dashboard. Identify the top instances based on response time
and spot sessions to troubleshoot issues instantly to avoid future performance degradation.

AI-powered forecasting and alerts: Site24x7 Oracle database performance monitoring


provides AI-driven insights for planning your database capacity; it even alerts you when there is
a potential bottleneck.

Unified monitoring: Monitor multiple Oracle databases and PDBs from a single console,
providing a comprehensive overview of your entire infrastructure.

Site24x7 Plugins
Steps to add a plugin

Install the Site24x7 server monitoring agent (Windows | Linux).

Ensure the relevant prerequisites (including providing access or installation of dependency


modules) for the specific plugins are fulfilled.

Download the required plugin files from our GitHub repository. Our detailed documentation
within the Site24x7 web client or on the plugin webpages also lists the files to download for each
plugin.

Place the downloaded files in a folder that has the same name of the files.For example, if you
have downloaded the Apache monitoring plugin files apache_monitoring.pyand
apache_monitoring.cfg, place the files in a folder named apache_monitoring.

Edit the .cfg file to add the configurations specific to the application. This differs for each plugin.
Follow the detailed documentation of each plugin to know what to edit in .cfg files.

Place the folder (with the files within) in the Site24x7 server monitoring agent folder.For Linux:
/opt/site24x7/monagent/plugins/For Windows: C:\Program Files
(x86)\Site24x7\WinAgent\monitoring\plugins/

OCI deployment
Tenancyaccess
For OCI monitoring, each compartment will be added as a monitor within
Site24x7, and its entities will be monitored. When you add the root
compartment, all child compartments will be integrated as separate monitors
automatically if you have required configurations. However, if you need only
certain compartments to be added, you can integrate them manually.
Site24x7 uses cross-tenancy access to monitor OCI resources using our tenancy
user. This ensures your data security as we won't require any credentials from
your end.
Adding an OCI Monitor
Ensure that you've created the policy granting necessary permissions to
Site24x7.
Paste the Compartment ID from the Compartment details page in the OCI cloud
console.
Enter the TagKey of the tag created in your compartment.
Select the Home Region where your IAM resources are defined and add the OCI
monitor.

Making Informed Decisions
ManageEngine CloudSpend is a SaaS-based cloud cost management software, built to
help businesses to gain precise insight into their cloud costs
Public cloud platforms like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google
Cloud Platform (GCP) offers tremendous opportunity to not only innovate but also
reduce the total cost of ownership associated with running on-site data centers.
Yet,understanding how and where you are accruing costs, identifying cost drivers or
keeping costs down can become difficult once you start to scale.
Toovercome these challenges, we build a new product : ManageEngine CloudSpend

How + How Much = CloudSpend

Now make informed decisions !

Business Units
Checks
Monitor spending patterns for cost accounts, business units, and reports,
ensuring you stay within your budget thresholds.
Leverage AI to identify deviations in spending and determine permissible
variations for a given anomaly.Understand how much your cost has deviated
for quick corrective action.
The periodic checks minimize redundant notifications, ensuring you receive
alerts only for configured budget or anomaly limits. Get notified for budget or
anomaly breaches through Users or via Site24x7 User Alert Group/Third-party
services.
Gain insights into irregular cloud expenditures, helping you optimize costs
and maintain financial control.
With detailed anomaly insights, make informed decisions to realign budgets
or investigate expenditure issues effectively.
