Service Monitor

Introduction

Service Monitor is a go-to solution for monitoring services, providing real-time insights into the availability of diverse URLs to ensure uninterrupted operation.

Getting Started

Compatibility

Service Monitor O11ySource is compatible to monitor services running in any of the operating systems as long as the TCP Port used by service is accessible

Data Collection Method

vuSmartMaps collects the monitoring data for this O11ySource using an internal data collector. This data collector collects data based on the source configuration.

Prerequisites

Inputs for Configuring Data Source

• Name: Name of the source.
• Service: Services to be monitored. Ex: www.google.com:443
• Period [in seconds]: How frequently data is gathered. The period should be between 60 seconds – 3000 seconds.

Firewall Requirement

To collect data from this O11ySource, ensure the following ports are opened:

Source IP	Destination IP	Destination Port	Protocol	Direction
All vuSmartMaps IPs	IP address of the device	-	TCP	Bidirectional

*Before providing the firewall requirements, please update the port based on the customer environment.

Configuring the Target

The port opening should be done for the services to be monitored and should be accessible to vuSmartMaps.

Configuration Steps

• Enable the O11ySource.
• Select the Sources tab and press the + button to add a new instance of the service to be monitored.
• Add 'Name', 'Service', 'Period' and 'Protocol' as per requirement.
• Click on Save and Continue to create the instance.
