Geneos: Advanced analytics, forecasting, and data storage through the ITRS Analytics component

Geneos now includes data storage and analytics capabilities that provide intelligence to deliver end-to-end observability across an enterprise. Alongside the Gateways, ITRS Analytics is now a core part of Geneos.

With ITRS Analytics apps, you can enjoy better anomaly detection, noise reduction for large-scale monitoring, and deeper root cause analysis through a user-friendly, web-based interface.

The connection with Gateways, for example, allows running commands directly on entities and metrics within the ITRS Analytics Entity Viewer app, ensuring seamless access and instant history.

Immediate command execution in the ITRS Analytics Entity Viewer app

The ITRS Analytics Entity Viewer app now offers additional command functions. Through the Commands page, commands set up in the Geneos Gateway Setup Editor can be accessed right in the Entity Viewer app, allowing you to run commands at once on entities and metrics.

Easily track the progress of your commands and check which are queued, running, or completed. Access your command history and dive into detailed information about each execution, including dimensions, targets, status, timestamp, and more.

OP5 Monitor: Hybrid IT environments

Many of our customers have started to incorporate cloud into their IT estate. This is a natural evolution, and OP5 Monitor shall continue to be a best-in-class monitoring tool for networks and on-premise environments, while evolving to support dynamic environments. We call the mix between traditional IT and dynamic environments the Hybrid IT. We have already started the work of supporting Hybrid IT environments with these new items:

  • We have created the Slim Poller, a containerised lightweight version of OP5 Monitor poller configuration. This was especially designed to enable the OP5 Monitor poller to run as a container in environments such as OpenShift and Kubernetes. Slim Poller supports autoscaling in Kubernetes, can be set up automatically with environment variables, and can auto-register with the cluster.
  • We have created a plugin specifically for monitoring Amazon Web Services (AWS) resources. The plugin allows for this by accessing the AWS native cloud monitoring called CloudWatch.
  • We have created a plugin for monitoring of Kubernetes cluster components such as deployments (replicas), nodes, and pods.
  • We have the latest version of OP5 Monitor available in AWS and Azure Marketplace for easy deployment in the cloud.
  • The check_vmware_v2 plugin replaces the check_vmware_api plugin to bring extended capabilities for monitoring VMware networks.
