Performance monitoring with Zenoss provides high-speed collection, historical graphing, and real-time threshold analysis for any available metric in the IT environment. Event monitoring and management provides the ability to aggregate log and event information from various sources, including availability monitoring, performance monitoring, syslog sources, SNMP trap sources, and the Windows Event log. IT staff can create event processing rules through a graphical user interface (GUI) with automatic event classification and prioritization. Alerting and reporting is also an integral part of Zenoss solutions. Customized alert messages are sent via paging or emails. Zenoss also includes basic and advanced escalation rules to avoid alarm fatigue.23 Finally, the browser-based Zenoss Dashboard is easily customized to provide personal views based on geographies, systems, business applications, or other options to suit the needs of the end users. A web portal ensures secure web-based access using role-based permissions. The personalized dashboard summarizes active events by business system and severity.
Systems Management and Monitoring
Published in Al Kovalick, Video Systems in an IT Environment, 2013
Windows Management Instrumentation is a component of the Windows operating system that provides management information and control in an enterprise environment. Using CIM standards, managers can use WMI to query and set information on desktop systems, applications, networks, and other enterprise components. Developers can use WMI to create event monitoring applications that report when incidents occur. One area of incompatibility is how an application writes codes to WMI versus WBEM. WMI provides an API to access the CIMOM, and this API is not the same as, for example, a Linux implementation. As a result, this incompatibility complicates application porting. The Microsoft Web site offers many tutorials and white papers on WMI and its use in systems monitoring.

Before considering the event monitoring process, the affected partner(s) needs to create an event, which describes the abnormal situation(s) as it happens within the partner’s organisation. This event creation activity can consist of relevant information such as event type, time of event, partner name, etc. Figure 9 displays an example of the procedural steps to create an event for any specific situation within the case business network. After creating an event, it needs to describe the event fully for the benefit of the other partner organisations. This description might involve various information such as add or remove this event from the event window, which partner needs to be contacted, edit status if needed, priority of the event to control it, etc.
