Learn moreThe demands placed on a modern corporate infrastructure have risen sharply in recent years. This complexity requires detailed monitoring in order to detect failures and critical errors at an early stage and initiate countermeasures in good time before major economic damage or even reputational damage occurs.
Monitoring refers to the continuous process of monitoring IT systems, networks and applications to ensure their performance, availability and security.
Through effective monitoring, organizations can ensure the reliability and performance of their IT infrastructure and hosting services, detect problems early and take appropriate action before they affect operations.
Monitoring of server resources such as CPU utilization, memory, hard disk capacity and network activity. This helps to identify bottlenecks and optimize system performance.
Monitoring of network performance, including bandwidth utilization, latency, packet loss and network devices such as routers and switches. This ensures that the network works reliably and efficiently.
Monitoring the performance and availability of applications. This includes tracking metrics such as response times, error rates and user interactions to ensure that applications are working as intended.
Analysis of log files to detect security-relevant events, application errors and system failures. Tools such as ELK Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) help with centralized log management and analysis.
Specific monitoring of cloud resources and services to monitor their usage, costs, availability and security. This also includes the monitoring of cloud-specific metrics and services.
Monitoring of security-related events and threats in order to detect and prevent attacks and unauthorized access. This includes the monitoring of firewalls, intrusion detection systems (IDS) and other security solutions
Monitor user experience by measuring metrics such as page load times, application performance from the end user's perspective and availability of services.
Set up alarm systems that send notifications to administrators when certain thresholds are reached or anomalies are detected. This enables a rapid response to potential problems.
Creation of dashboards and reports to visualize monitoring data. These tools help to maintain an overview of system performance and identify trends and potential problems.
In many of our projects, we use the open source software Kibana to visualize and analyse large amounts of data. It can be used to visually display and analyze data streams from system logs, application logs and infrastructure data. Often as part of an ELK stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana).
Functionality and areas of application of Kibana in monitoring:
Visualization of data: Kibana provides interactive dashboards and visualization tools such as charts, heatmaps and maps that make it easy to monitor and analyze the performance and states of systems and applications.
Real-time monitoring: Kibana allows data to be monitored in real time, which is particularly useful for reacting quickly to current problems. Logs and metrics are processed almost instantly, allowing administrators to detect and respond to anomalies immediately.
Log management and analysis: With Kibana, logs from different sources can be merged and searched, making root cause analysis easier. By using filters and search queries, specific events can be found, allowing administrators to work more efficiently.
Alerts and warnings: In combination with the Elastic Stack, alerts can be configured based on specific events or thresholds. Notifications can be set up to be triggered when certain conditions such as high CPU load or memory bottlenecks occur.
Analysis and troubleshooting: Kibana helps to analyze and troubleshoot errors by bringing together metrics and logs in a centralized interface. This makes it easier for administrators to identify problems and understand why systems or applications are slowing down or failing.
Reporting and data export: Kibana also provides the ability to create reports and export them to share analytics and performance metrics with other teams or external stakeholders.
This visualization makes it easier to identify critical errors and correct them directly. We would be happy to advise you on how you can use Kibana to make your administrators' work easier. Of course, we are also happy to support your team in troubleshooting with our DevOps and infrastructure team. We are here for you.
In addition to comprehensive advice on all aspects of monitoring, we will of course set up your monitoring system and adapt it to your individual needs. We rely on modern software and our many years of experience.
