Server monitoring

Monitor the health,performance, and utilization of your entire server infrastructure with LM Envision: LogicMonitor’s SaaS-based monitoring platform. Using LogicMonitor’s lightweight, agentless collector, LM Envision automatically detects, monitors, and alerts on: CPU, Memory, Network, and many other OS metrics for Windows, Linux, Solaris, AIX, and more.

Rapidly deploy and optimize servers

Comprehensive server monitoring requires more than simple CPU and memory alerting, but shouldn’t need a lot of configuration. With LM Envision, simply enter an IP address range – whether on-premise or in the cloud – and you’re done. LM Envision scans ports for popular services and applications, making onboarding easier than ever. Out-of-the-box dynamic threshold alerting intelligently measures predicted performance levels and alerts you when those thresholds are exceeded.

Actionable insights for server performance

End-to-end server monitoring provides full visibility into infrastructure health. Ingesting server log data provides an improved correlated impact on performance and uptime and helps identify issues before they cause customer disruptions.

LM Envision spots anomalous server log events to help minimize disruptions to service issues, such as common configuration changes or patch updates that could disrupt connectivity. Create LM alerts from anomalous server logs to ensure proactive monitoring for business-critical servers with contextual information.

Simple Effective Event Log and Resource Monitoring/Alerting tool

LogicMonitor is used by our organization to actively monitor servers and cloud infrastructure for both events and resource utilization. Our main objective is to use the tool to detect and alert IT staff of anomalies or other potential downtime that could impact our customers and employees. LogicMonitor is currently deployed to key infrastructures such as VM hosts, domain controllers, critical servers, and Azure resources such as VMs, Frontdoor, Kubernetes, etc.

Server Monitoring Benefits

LogicMonitor server overview dashboard

Rapidly monitor server health

Quickly drill down into CPU, memory, and many other OS metrics from your servers. Track your server-based applications such as databases, mail servers, and web servers. Go beyond basic server monitoring and see how the performance of your servers correlates to cloud instances, virtual machines, RAID controllers, physical drives, battery systems, interfaces, and other hardware.

Managing the Pagerduty Delivery integration in LogicMonitor.

Keep your teams informed with incident response automation

Automated reporting and ITSM integrations with ServiceNow, Ansible, PagerDuty, Connectwise, Slack, and more to help teams communicate, troubleshoot, and optimize IT infrastructure rapidly.

This dashboard provides an a listing of various metrics that are monitored for Linux servers using SNMP or SSH. The metrics displayed are status, real-time CPU utilization, real-time memory utilization, real-time storage utilization, CPU utilization over time, memory utilization over time, storage utilization over time.

Automate server discovery

Advanced network scanning and automated deployment make discovery simple – just add the hostname or IP address range of the devices you want to monitor and LogicMonitor does the rest.

This dashboard provides an overview of Alerts. The metrics displayed are status by resource type, geolocation of resource groups and a listing of all alerts.

Reduce alert noise

Distinguish service-impacting alerts from non-service impacting alerts. Reduce alert fatigue with dynamic thresholds, intelligent anomaly detection, and root cause analysis.

SQL server performance monitoring dashboard

Identify performance trends

Predictive analytics, anomaly detection, and intelligent forecasting allow you to prevent resource shortages and improve infrastucture planning.

This dashboard provides an overview of SLAs. The metrics displayed are Linux server status, network resource availability, all device availability, storage availability, vm availability, host availability, HTTP availability, uptime over time availability

Server monitoring FAQs

What is server monitoring?

Server monitoring is a process through which you gain visibility into the activity on your servers — whether physical or virtual. Servers are devices (or increasingly, applications) that store and process information that is provided to other devices, applications, or users on-demand. System resources related to relevant servers are tracked for specific states and changes. Server performance monitoring can help keep track of the hardware and processes critical for keeping the server functional and can help make sure your system is generally performing optimally.

Why is server monitoring important?

System resources related to relevant servers are tracked for specific states and changes. Server performance monitoring can help keep track of the hardware and processes and help make sure your system is performing optimally.

What is a physical server?

A physical server is a powerful computer — usually stored in a data center for business-use cases. They run operating systems and applications off of their internal hardware resources.

What is a virtual machine?

A virtual server is typically a shared software environment that emulates the functions of server hardware. Virtual servers are commonly obtained from specialized providers that operate infrastructure comprising hundreds of thousands of physical servers, which are located in data centers around the world.

How does the LM collectors determine what metrics to monitor for the server?

When you add a device into monitoring, LogicMonitor applies built-in intelligence to recognize what kind of device it is. Based on the information discovered about the device, LogicMonitor DataSources are applied. DataSources are templates that tell the Collector how to monitor the device, what metrics to collect for the device, how to display those metrics as graphs, and what values indicate issues that need attention. LogicMonitor contains hundreds of pre-built DataSources that are automatically applied when you add devices into your account.
