The BixServer is the central component designed to collect data from servers and serves as the Operational Data Store for any data gathered through monitoring or import from other data sources.
Easy To Install
BixServer is a complete solution that is easy to deploy and installs in less than 10 minutes. BixServer also features auto configuration for all its features, and includes network tools such as network scan and network topology to import the details of servers and networking devices.
Agent-less Monitoring
BixServer can monitor servers and services that do not have agents installed, such as HTTP, applications and databases.
Data Gathering
BixServer is an advanced data gathering platform. Data gathering from agents automatically configures itself for optimum performance and lowest impact on resources and network bandwidth.
BixAgent features local storage which allows monitoring and data collection to continue even if network connectivity is not available. In any environment switches/routers or networks can fail. This is also ideal in environments where ‘always on’ connectivity is not available.
Through included data sources and plug-ins, BixAgent can collect data from any server on any platform and store directly into a number of supported SQL Servers.
BixData uses an open specification for data storage. Open data exchange is very important to integrate with different environments and software systems, especially in IT.
Notifications, Alerts and Actions
Manage devices by monitoring the many aspects of availability, performance and resource usage and then manage by using notifications and alerts.
System administrators can instantly be notified through desktop alerts, email or cell phone; or escalate errors through their organization. BixServer also supports built-in actions such as executing scripts locally or remotely, or taking any number of built-in actions.
SQL Support
BixServer’s Operational Data Store allows the gathering and storage of more than 30GB per day. Through included data sources and plug-ins, BixAgent can collect data from any server on any platform and store directly into a number of supported SQL Servers. All data schemas and data storage in BixData is in XML format that can easily be integrated into 3rd party applications or accessed directly from the underlying SQL database servers.
SQL Support is included for MySQL, PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server and Firebird.
Reporting
The advanced reporting capabilities of BixServer include table reports, graphs and html reports. BixServer has many predefined reports and graphs that provide useful information about servers, applications and even hardware inventory. Reports can provide information on specific servers, services and also averages for groups of servers.
