Longitude Standard Edition provides
robust operating system and infrastructure monitoring
capabilities at a price that is affordable for
small to medium sized businesses:
Operating System & Device Monitoring
Pre-packaged solutions provide availability
and performance monitoring for Microsoft® Windows
Server™, Microsoft Windows® XP, Microsoft Windows®
Vista, Red Hat® Linux, SUSE® Linux, IBM AIX®,
Hewlett-Packard HP-UX®, Sun Solaris™, VMware®
ESX, and Cisco® devices.
Web-Based UI
Longitude is 100% web-enabled. You view alerts,
perform administrative tasks, and review reports
right from your browser, securely, and with
no impact on your firewall. No ActiveX controls,
plug-ins, or applets are required anywhere in
Longitude, so with the proper security authorization
you can access and administer it from your browser
anywhere. |
| Event Monitor with Computer
View
The Event Monitor serves as a central monitoring
station for Longitude, allowing you to view
events, troubleshoot issues, and respond to
problems from a single interface. Drill down
for real time troubleshooting, modify performance
thresholds, enable notification and corrective
actions, and suspend or disable events.

Alerts and Actions
Automatically receive e-mail & pager alerts
and execute corrective action based on specified
event handling policies. Using rules you specify
through the GUI (no scripting necessary), Longitude
provides meaningful alerts and initiates corrective
action.
Windows Event Log Consolidation
Consolidate any Windows event logs across the
network for event displays and reports, or to trigger Longitude
actions.
Standard Command and Control
Predefined default thresholds take the guesswork
out of getting started. Refining monitoring
to support your specific business processes
is easy; Longitude compiles and presents minimum,
maximum, and average values reflecting your
environment in action.
Real-Time Statistics Dashboard
Build your own dashboard showing any combination
of metrics – even encompassing different server
platforms, SNMP-based devices, and end user
experience transactions – to obtain a cohesive
view of multi-tiered applications. |
| Standard Reporting
Assess historical performance with built-in
reports; drill down instantly for more details.
Graphically rich tables, charts, and graphs
supply the information to address performance
and capacity issues before users are affected.
View reports interactively, or print or email
them for wider distribution.

Longitude then uses the monitoring data throughout
the product.

Longitude Enterprise Edition provides all of
the capabilities of Longitude Standard Edition
and Professional Edition, plus these advanced
features that facilitate the monitoring and management
of large enterprises: |
Enterprise Command
and Control
Longitude scales with ease to any size enterprise.
Thanks to auto discovery, identifying the servers
and applications to monitor is quick. Adjustable
views define whether all, or a selected subset,
of computers appear in the display. Define multilevel
groupings — such as department/computer, or administrator/application/computer
— to present different support organizations with
views of the systems and applications they can see
and access. Role-based security defines exactly
which functions each user can see and perform. |
SLA Dashboard
Service Level Agreements combine data across multi-tiered
applications to give you a seamless view of availability
and performance from a business perspective. If
an underlying component is down or operating out
of acceptable tolerance, it is reflected in the
SLA's status. Longitude reports – in real time or
historically – exactly what was out of compliance,
for how long, how severely, and take corrective
action if desired. Longitude’s SLA Dashboard provides
up to the minute displays of SLA performance, with
pinpoint drilldown to investigate shortfalls in
compliance. |

Enterprise Reporting
Designate performance and SLA reports for Longitude
to generate and publish on its Management Reporting
Portal or distribute by email on a daily, weekly,
or monthly basis. Plus, Longitude Enterprise Edition
automatically annotates raw data with findings from
related events for root cause analysis, and allows
you to add your own user comments to document reports
for IT stakeholders. |
Event Correlation
Most monitoring products report system and application
events in isolation, revealing little to nothing
about the impact on your business. With Longitude’s
easy-to-define Event Correlation, related events
across multi-tiered applications trigger intelligent
alerts and actions, so you immediately understand
the business impact. Longitude can monitor an application’s
underlying components and warn you when certain
combinations of conditions are about to affect a
business process or service level. Longitude can
determine the root cause of the problem – for example,
whether it originates in the application server,
back end database, or web server – and provide you
with actionable information about its nature, severity,
duration, and potential remedies. |
Customizable Event Monitor, with Topology
View
Distributed and complex environments benefit from
the ability to map and view monitored components
graphically based on physical or logical hierarchy,
either using maps supplied with Longitude or by
importing your own images. Easily organize and change
your topology-based representation in the manner
most useful to you: location, department, administrator,
operating system, time zone, and more. |

User Experience Monitoring
Longitude Synthetic Web Transactions let you assess
the end user experience. Record a Web transaction,
click-by-click, that you want to test on a recurring
basis. Specify how frequently you want the transaction
to run, and Longitude does the rest. You can also
incorporate Synthetic Web Transactions into SLA
monitoring, for a view that relates the end user
experience to the key infrastructure components
that support the application. |
Send SNMP Traps
Integrate with central management consoles
and help desks by generating SNMP traps based
on your own corporate escalation policies. Using
rules you specify through the GUI (no scripting
necessary), Longitude avoids "event showers"
by forwarding only the events you specify. |
J2EE Application Monitoring
The Longitude application server solutions provide
comprehensive out-of-the-box application performance
monitoring for your J2EE environments. Longitude
proactively monitors key performance metrics to
ensure that your BEA WebLogic®, IBM WebSphere®,
and JBoss® applications are running optimally and
alerts you when there is a problem. Top |
