Monitoring Capabilities

Automatic Discovery, Vendor Awareness, and Deep Visibility

Takeaway
Mutiny includes a rich library of vendor-aware templates, adapters, and discovery engines that automatically recognise devices, apply the correct monitoring profile, and present data clearly — without complex manual configuration.

What Does Mutiny Monitor?

This is one of the most common questions we’re asked.

In short: Mutiny can monitor almost anything that exposes telemetry, whether via SNMP, WinRM, APIs, scripts, or traps.

Mutiny collects raw data, processes it through internal engines and agents, correlates it with topology and lifecycle context, and presents it in a clear, operationally useful way — not just as raw metrics.

Core Data Collection Methods

  • SNMP polling and traps (v1/2c/3)

  • WinRM & PowerShell (modern Windows monitoring)

  • Agentless remote scripts (Windows & Unix)

  • API-based integrations

  • Service and protocol testing

  • Topology and dependency discovery

  • Environmental and power monitoring

Custom Agents & PowerShell Extensions

Mutiny includes:

  • Native PowerShell Scheduler allowing customers to:

    • Query Microsoft application counters

    • Extract custom metrics

    • Push numerical data directly into Mutiny’s metrics engine

  • Data Extensions for reporting:

    • Capacity

    • Performance

    • Health

    • Custom business or application KPIs

This enables deep monitoring of bespoke applications without waiting for vendor plugins.

Monitoring by Node Type

Basic Internet or External Node

  • Ping with RTT graphing
