Zenoss Launches Site Availability Monitoring

Zenoss Inc. announced the release of new capabilities to proactively identify and address website and web application issues that may impact user experience or the functionality of the application. The capability, labeled site availability monitoring (SAM), is immediately available to all customers.

Web application monitoring is a critical practice aimed at ensuring the optimal performance, reliability and security of web-based applications. SAM enables swift detection of performance bottlenecks and application failures. By notifying business and application owners and administrators of problems before they impact an organization, SAM enables rapid troubleshooting and reduced downtime.

With SAM, customers can accomplish the following tasks:

• Monitor websites and web applications with no software installation required.
• Monitor websites and web applications in the same view as the broader infrastructure.
• Gain availability and performance insights into websites and web applications.
• Specify frequency of monitoring for your production and nonproduction requirements.
• View the performance of a single or multisite web application, including performance and availability, on intelligent dashboards.
• Trigger alerts and take actions using other Zenoss Cloud features, including intelligent dashboards, Smart View, actions framework, inventory and events.
• Share dashboards and performance reports with other users.

“Site availability monitoring is a streamlined feature that addresses key customer use cases without requiring any software to be installed,” said Trent Fitz, chief product officer for Zenoss. “We always strive to eliminate barriers for customers, and this is another example of delivering value with virtually zero effort on their part.”
