For each process, device, and resource monitored, the user can define where to route notifications of critical system messages. EnlightenDSM can send email or page directly to the person responsible for resolution of a specific type of problem. EnlightenDSM can also be used automate a response such as re-install a software package or disable a hardware component. Event-driven monitoring of devices, processes, and resources can alert the administrator to problems as they are developing by sending notification when a condition has exceeded a defined threshold. This methodology, compared with poll-based SNMP products, provides a lean and intellegent means of monitoring.
Costly downtime is reduced while providing users with faster, more reliable environments.
Smart Logging Writing information to a disk requires more resources than most other system functions. EnlightenDSM's smart logging feature reduces the need to log information every time it is tested. This reduces both disk space for log files and system resource requirements. This section gives you a general overview of the three main phases of EnlightenDSM deployment, with each followed by a link to more detailed listing of technical implementation features. It adds performance management, storage management, file distribution and security auditing.
