Simplify troubleshooting hosts with multiple objects (interfaces, volumes, VIPs, virtual machines…)
Trying to identify performance issues on hosts that contain multiple objects is difficult and time-consuming if you can only view each object individually.
LogicMonitor’s automatically-generated overview graphs allow you to view the top 10 objects on a single graph, making it much easier to spot issues. Overview graphs are commonly used to provide at-a-glance information about volume performance on a SAN, VIP performance on load balancers, memory usage on virtual machines, etc. They can also be split into multiple graphs and grouped. And like all of LogicMonitor’s configuration – they update automatically as objects are added to or removed from your datacenter.
A real life example of how Overview Graphs speed problem resolution:
LogicMonitor triggered an alert on a Netscaler cluster as the global surge queue level was too high, indicating users were not able to access virtual servers effectively.
If the servers were down for a VIP, LogicMonitor would have sent alerts on that, but in this case that did not occur. However, a quick look at the overview graph for all VIPs quickly showed which VIP was at issue:
The ff.com vip was identified as being the cause of the issue, and a look at the statistics for that particular VIP confirmed it:
It looked like the servers were up, but suddenly unable to deal with the rate of requests. The administrator looked at the LogicMonitor information about the servers associated with the site ff.com, and noted that sequential table scans on the database had dramatically increased for the same amount of requests served (LogicMonitor also triggered an alert for this). The code release that was just completed had omitted an index, causing performance to crawl. The code change was backed out, and the site performance recovered.
See how LogicMonitor can minimize both your site downtime, and your staff time investment in monitoring. Get monitoring that frees up time, and keeps up with your dynamic environment – LogicMonitor.
