Standardized IT Monitoring theGuard! ApplicationManager provides multiple functions that enable companies to automate their monitoring activities. The monitoring is configured by means of central rule sets that are assigned to the data collectors. These will then autonomously collect the desired data from the monitored computers and periodically transfer it to the ApplicationManager server. New objects (such as new log files) can be automatically configured and included in the monitoring activities. If incidents or threshold violations occur, the system will trigger automatic responses that either notify the administrators in charge or even eliminate the error. Using expert tools, detected errors can be corrected directly in the monitored applications. Service Level Management offers a comprehensive solution that enables service providers to verify proper operation and short downtimes.

A server application is used to ensure the secure, reliable, and traceable execution of responses and the delivery of alerts. The server can be made redundant to increase reliability and distribute the load. In addition to event-triggered responses, time-triggered responses can be carried out as well. Furthermore, the software allows for cascading and parallel responses, including escalation scenarios that satisfy shift operation requirements.    theGuard! ApplicationManager supports more than 50 different response types that can be easily configured through a wizard.

Service Level Management for your applications theGuard! ApplicationManager allows you to define and monitor service level agreements (SLAs) application by application. These agreements include general contract data as well as agreed-upon criteria outlining the availability and performance of the individual application objects. SLA reports compare agreed-upon attributes and rules with the actual performance. The corresponding report includes a comprehensive overview of the rules and determines whether and to which extent SLAs were met or violated. These reports offer various degrees of detail and can, for example, pinpoint individual events that caused a violation.
