As you may know, NetEye Cloud is our multi-tenant SaaS solution for monitoring your infrastructure. It’s crucial to us for keeping every tenant aligned with the latest configurations and patches. We’ve managed to automate and align the agents via Desired State Configuration (DSC) and Ansible, but we still had to manually check those agents’ configurations….
Read MoreAs you all know NetEye uses MariaDB as its database. With the nep-monitoring-core module of the NetEye Extension Packs (NEP), the following aspects of MariaDB are monitored: These checks are performed with a default time interval (check_interval) of 180s. To have real time control of many aspects of the MariaDB database operation, I suggest installing…

Read MoreWith this bugfix release, we changed telegraf configuration which was causing data loss and delay of data visualization in grafana. We added missing ciphers in the nats-server ‘s TLS configuration for WIN2012R2 and added satellite-log conf for monitoring satellite-master errors. For NetEye 4.20 we updated the following packages: nats-server, nats-server-autosetup to version 2.5.0_neteye1.15.4-1 telegraf, telegraf-autosetup…
Read MoreIn the world of IT monitoring, we often deal with metrics that are cumulative, or where we cannot control or modify the definition of a metric. Examples include the various Windows performance monitoring metrics for MS Dynamics AX 2013 R3 (AOS) server. These metrics are cumulative, but whenever the AOS services are restarted, or the…
Read MoreWe introduced an interesting new feature into NetEye starting in version 4.13 that permits integrating vSphereDB with Tornado. By being able to process vSphereDB Events and Alarms with Tornado rules and actions, you can for example use vSphereDB to dynamically monitor Virtual Machines and Hosts. Architecture Finding a way to send Alarms and Events stored…
