"What can Mutiny monitor?"

We are often asked this question and basically Mutiny can monitor anything to a certain degree. We use SNMP to "get" the information we need and then process that information, run it through various internal agents then display the information in a straight forward way to make it easy to use etc.

What you can get from each "Node" as we call them depends on what it runs and what additional vendor SNMP agents they have for example;

 A ping only node on the Internet;

• Ping with RTT graphing
• Various port based service tests like web page content tests, mail relay, DNS etc.

Any wintel box with Microsoft's SNMP service installed will give us:

• Ping with RTT graphing
• SNMP service test
• Interface and traffic data
• CPU utilisation
• Memory usage
• Hard disk capacity
• Processes running
• Various port based service tests like web page content tests, mail relay, DNS etc.
• Graphing of system and interface data

A HP or Dell server with Insight or OpenManage agents installed:

• Ping with RTT graphing
• SNMP service test
• Interface and traffic
• CPU utilisation
• Memory usage
• Hard disk capacity
• Processes running
• Server environment, RAID status, CPU, Fans, temperature and redundant PSU status
• Various port based service tests like web page content tests, mail relay, DNS etc.
• Graphing of System and interface data

 A Solaris box running net-SNMP (default in Solaris 10 available for older)

• Ping with RTT graphing
• SNMP service test
• Interface and traffic
• CPU Load factor
• Memory usage
• Hard disk capacity
• Processes running
• Various port service tests like web page content, mail relay, DNS etc.
• Graphing of System and interface data

A VMware ESX server running on HP with insight manager:

• Ping with RTT graphing
• SNMP service test
• Interface and traffic
• CPU Load factor
• Memory usage
• Hard disk capacity
• processes running
• Server environment, RAID status, CPU, Fans, temperature and redundant PSU status
• Various port based service tests like web page content tests, mail relay, DNS etc.
• Graphing of System and interface data

A virtual server:

Same as the appropriate server above.

Cisco Switches and Routers:

• Ping with RTT graphing
• SNMP service test
• Interface and traffic graphing with utilisation alerts etc.
• QoS monitoring and graphing
• ISDN 30 channel monitoring with utilisation graphs
• CPU utilisation
• Memory usage
• Chassis status including PSUs etc (if chassis has this capability)
• Graphing of System, interface data and QoS Data
• NetFlow^TM
• Traps
• Energywise

Other vendor Switches and routers:

• Ping with RTT graphing
• SNMP service test
• Traps
• Interface and traffic graphing with utilisation alerts etc.
• Juniper (Netscreen) VPN agent with alerting
• Graphing interface data

 APC and other RFC standard UPS manufacturers:

• Ping with RTT graphing
• SNMP service test
• Graphing of power
• UPS agent to alert on status, battery and time to run etc.

Various environmental probes:

• Ping with RTT graphing
• SNMP service test
• Temperature graphing/alerting etc.
