It has been said that with enough information anything can be predicted! Well this is definitely true in the IT world. If you monitor your systems well enough you can take pre-emptive actions to stop systems from breaking.

An example might be the monitoring of your computer server temperatures. If you see that on one server the temperature start to rise rapidly you know that there is a good chance that hardware is going to fail very soon.

You can now take actions upfront to make sure you fix this issue before your whole server goes down and you have potential loss of data and inconvenience to your staff.


There are many other examples for network devices, workstation, servers, services, software applications but with an

out-of-the-box offering like this your options are wide if you can monitor:

• CPU
• Databases
• DNS
• Environmental
• ERP
• File Systems
• Hardware
• Logs
• Mail
• Misc
• Networking
• Printer
• Operating System
• SNMP

Finally if there is not already a check available, out-of-the-box, then it is quite easy to create a new one so that you can monitor non-standard equipment or specific undefined features.
At last it is possible to predict the future and see everything.
