Monitoring Automation

Monitoring Automation simplifies the configuration and deployment of monitoring for infrastructure and composite applications. Your team creates blueprints of your IT environment and desired monitoring configuration, and monitoring automation does the rest, from discovery, to updating the model, to deploying the right monitoring configuration at the right time.

Modeling and monitoring design. Monitoring automation enables you to predefine a standard model for a service or composite application, and decide how to monitor it. These models and monitoring standards serve as the blueprint for automating the process of discovering and monitoring your constantly changing IT environment.

Automatic onboarding of servers and applications. Using the models you've already defined for the components of your environment, monitoring automation can automatically discover new IT infrastructure resources, add them to your model, and immediately deploy monitoring policies.

For example, an HPE Operations Agent is added to your environment, and a node is automatically created. An automatic assignment rule triggers the deployment of an Oracle discovery policy, which discovers an Oracle database. Another automatic assignment rule deploys an Oracle monitoring policy, without any operators having to get involved. This flow also works for more complex applications, where you might discover multiple servers, databases, and so on. In this case, monitoring for different components can also be deployed using an automatic assignment rule. Regardless of whether the monitoring tool used is agent-based or agentless, monitoring automation deploys the appropriate monitoring configuration to the target instances.

When you automate the process of discovering and monitoring your IT environment, you never run the risk of not monitoring an important application, or continuing to monitor an application that no longer exists.

Easy-to-tune monitoring. Users don't need a deep knowledge of the specific monitoring policies to tune the monitoring configuration. They just need to tune the parameters.
