Monitoring Services.

MegaVision allows to monitor performance of business-critical Layer 7 network services, such as e-mail, HTTP, FTP, DNS, etc. The services are learned automatically for any device, which is located on the map. The Services Monitor window may be accessed via Main Window menu Monitor/Services Monitor item, or via device specific menu, which pops up by right mouse click on the selected device.

If any of the discovered services goes down, it becomes red in the Services Monitor window. Also a warning (yellow) alarm comes to the Alarms Log. Also the RESPONSE TIME (given in milliseconds) may be used as a relative performance indicator of the corresponding service. Network manager should be concerned if a service goes down or becomes prohibitively slow – the RESPONSE TIME becomes too big. File “…/data/services.def” in the MegaVision root
