24 X 7 Server Monitoring
Our infrastructure comprises of high availability clusters
of different machines, with varied operating systems and applications,
spread across multiple continents.
An effective monitoring system is extremely
crucial for ensuring maximum uptime. Today, any web services company manages
hundreds
of servers with a large number of services running on each server.
Manually checking each service on just one server
24 x 7 is extremely difficult - across a number of servers - is
humanly impossible. Companies that do not have a good monitoring
system, or worse, don't have one at all, have larger downtimes and
are increasing the risk of potential damage caused due to service
disruptions. An undetected minor issue can change into a major issue
rapidly, increasing the amount of damage caused.
Our monitoring systems and tools provide our system administrators
with an all-encompassing view into the health of our globally
distributed infrastructure. We monitor a large number of parameters
related to the health of our servers and individual services
that reside on them.
Services monitored include -
- Network Connectivity
- Server Disk Space
- Server CPU Usage
- Server Memory Usage
- Web Services - HTTP,
HTTPS & FTP
- Email Services - SMTP, POP & IMAP
- Database Services - MySQL, MSSQL
- DNS Services
- All Log Files
and More...
If any server or service fails, or
any resource utilization exceeds specified limits, then a notification
pops-up immediately on the
screens of all our Infrastructure Monitoring Staff. The notification
system also handles escalation of issues i.e. if the issue is
not resolved within 'x' minutes, SMS alerts are sent out to higher
level system administrators, and subsequently to the Management.
All of this allows us to detect and resolve any issue within minutes of
it happening and ensures maximum uptime for your customers.
