Server & application monitoring
An indispensable component of a well-designed managed services solution is an elaborate monitoring solution.
Monitoring is not limited to the classic "uptime" detection, but also looks further: by mapping the availability of services as accurately as possible, proactive efforts can be made to guarantee optimal availability of infrastructure and application.
By combining server monitoring with application monitoring, the performance of the application itself can also be improved.
Performance debugging consists of a "and/and" relationship between server and application.
Metrics
By starting to store the data from monitoring over time and providing the necessary trend graphs, quick and targeted decisions can be efficiently made around infrastructure adaptation or much-needed changes at the application level.
Displaying performance over time is the ideal tool for making decisions about forward-looking interventions. Thanks to metrics and trending, one does not run behind the facts but remains in control.
Log centralisation
On an extended infrastructure, centralizing logs (or log aggregation) is the third link for the realization of a balanced monitoring solution.
The combination of centralized server and application logs, monitoring and metrics results in the perfect tool where all available data contributes to a professional approach to server management.
It is precisely for this reason that we consider "monitoring" an indispensable pillar within the Kinamo Managed Services framework.
