Monitoring for Custom Applications
Monitor and manage everything from one interface
SolarWinds Server & Application (SAM) monitoring provides one unified framework to monitor the status and performance of customized applications alongside commercial applications.
- Detect performance issues and downtime in custom applications
- Get notified on deviations from baseline thresholds
- Monitor CPU, memory, and response time for application performance counters and services
- Schedule periodic application discovery; create application maps and NOC views
- Customize alert conditions and schedule reports
- Correlate application failure to physical and virtual infrastructure issues
Easily create monitors for custom applications
Server & Application Monitor provides built-in monitoring templates for 200+ applications. These templates comprise component monitors to measure health and performance metrics of applications using WMI, SNMP, JMX, VMware, and API protocols.
Extend monitoring for custom applications:
- Edit/modify/customize existing templates and component monitors
- Use the wealth of community-generated templates (created and shared on THWACK®)
- Easily build new templates and component monitors
- Run your custom Windows, Linux, and UNIX scripts
- Run open source scripts (such as Nagios or Nagios alternatives) natively without any conversion
Monitor custom applications in the cloud
In addition to Server & Application Monitor's agentless architecture, there is an optional agent available to monitor custom and commercial applications located in your public cloud environment (Amazon EC2, Microsoft Azure, and Rackspace). You can also use this agent to monitor servers and applications within your on-premises environment that you are not able to monitor using agentless technology due to firewall issues, network bandwidth, or security restrictions.

Out-of-the-box support for multi-vendor applications
Server & Application Monitor supports monitoring of multi-vendor commercial applications and servers out of the box, including:
- Microsoft applications like Exchange, IIS, Active Directory, SharePoint, SQL Server, and more.
- Third-party applications such as Oracle, Java, Tomcat, Citrix, and MySQL.
- Operating systems such as Windows, Linux, UNIX, and AIX.
- Server hardware components on Dell PowerEdge, HP ProLiant, and IBM eServer xSeries.
- Virtual infrastructures running on VMware and Hyper-V hypervisors
"The ability to create our own script templates with an easy-to-use user interface has extended the flexibility of this platform—which surpasses everything else we have tried."
