Application Monitoring Services

It’s easy to know if an application is running.

We can tell you if it’s Working (and when it’s not.)

Monitoring the Process Stack

When applications are running, they show up in the process stack. We monitor applications on Linux, Windows, MAC and UNIX, using a variety of methods to check the stack and ensure your applications are running and available. Monitoring the process stack is an important part of Application Monitoring, but that’s just the first step.

Synthetic Transactions

Short of someone actually using your application in real-time, implementing Synthetic Transactions is the Holy Grail in monitoring. If monitoring the process stack is step 1, putting your applications through their paces via Synthetic Transactions is definitely step 2. Can users actually place an order on your e-commerce page? Can they log in to your portal? See images? Vigilabo can script out and execute these kinds of Synthetic Transactions on a regular basis, offering real-world feedback and an added layer of security.

Database Monitoring

Vigilabo will work with you to determine how to best monitor the availability and performance of your databases. We typically implement a series of SNMP, CLI and/or SQL queries to collect and monitor what matters most to you. Is performance sluggish? Is a database filling up? Are queues getting full? Our expert developers and NOC engineers have experience monitoring SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, Postgres and many other databases.

Multi-Step Scripts

Sometimes, the only way to test an application is to execute a call-level script. Other times, the only way to truly run an application through its paces is to execute a number of steps sequentially. Vigilabo has developers on staff who are experts at this sort of thing. We do the work so you don’t have to!

Email Verification

Is email important to your company? Is downtime unacceptable? If that’s a challenge you’re facing, Vigilabo can help. Similar to Synthetic Transactions, we’ll utilize an account on your mail system to generate and monitor bi-directional email transactions. We’ll send an email at regular intervals, verify it was sent, verify it was received, then reverse and repeat the process. We’ll check POP, IMAP, SMTP and others.

Event Log Monitoring

Vigilabo can parse application event logs looking for error codes, success/failure messages, specific text or other useful information and let you know the instant there’s a problem. We can even alarm if a log file stops incrementing or fails to get created in the first place. This can be extremely useful both in detecting problems before they impact your employees or customers.
