Why do I need the Enterprise Manager?
If you manage a large network or a datacentre and are struggling to determine uptime of the network or machines, enforcing SLAs with vendors, you will find that the Enterprise Manager makes your job a lot simpler. Can I monitor Windows servers?
Yes. Windows or Linux servers can be monitored for CPU usage, memory usage, disk usage and process checks using either a Elina-provided agent, SNMP or WMI/SSH based methods. How do I know if a Windows server is running out of disk space?
You can setup Enterprise Manager to monitor the Windows server for disk usage. You can additionally specify which disks/partitions to monitor, setup up thresholds for warning and critical levels and receive alerts over email/SMS/RSS feeds when these alerts are crossed. How much network bandwidth is used by Enterprise Manager?
This depends on the number of nodes that are being monitored. On a per-node basis, the bandwidth used is very little - as little as a few hundred bytes per minute. Can I export data from the Enterprise Manager?
The Enterprise Manager uses a very powerful XML based reporting framework. Elina can provide you the XML API on-request and the monitored data can be queried remotely and uploaded to another NMS. What are the reports available?
Enterprise Manager provides you with a host of reports - uptime status, node events, changes to configuration made - using its powerful reporting framework. The entire set of reports are search-able.
