Nagios Server Monitoring Alternative
Easily migrate your Nagios scripts to SolarWinds
Start server and application monitoring typically in minutes with an enterprise-grade alternative to Nagios
SolarWinds® Server & Application Monitor (SAM) is designed to allow you to use your existing Nagios scripts to extend monitoring coverage and depth. The built-in script processor enables you to convert Nagios scripts to a format you can use to alert, schedule, run jobs, and report findings, all from the centralized SAM interface.
This can help ensure you can leverage the time and effort you have already invested in these scripts—while benefiting from a whole new ease-of-use when managing custom applications.
Choose a Nagios replacement with out-of-the-box monitoring for 1,200-plus apps
SAM features built-in application templates to deliver availability and performance monitoring for over 1,200 business applications including databases, email servers, web servers, application servers, and more.
These built-in templates are designed to provide expert guidance on what to monitor, why you should monitor it, and how to reach the optimal thresholds to monitor your applications.
Unlock detailed visibility into application performance with a Nagios alternative
Pinpoint and drill down on performance problems in Exchange, SQL Server, IIS, and more. Server & Application Monitor’s AppInsight™ dashboard automates application monitoring and provides comprehensive visibility and metrics to troubleshoot performance issues.
SAM is designed to help you map dependencies across operating systems, servers, and virtual layers, so you can find out how performance problems are affecting application health. Go deep into your IT infrastructure and get contextual metrics to troubleshoot application performance.
Scale up with an alternative to Nagios that can support a range of networks
Manage and monitor your applications using the agentless technology in Server & Application Monitor. The agentless approach makes it easy to discover and poll performance metrics from target nodes.
SAM helps meet the needs of any sized network without requiring any third-party integration for scalability or distributed monitoring. Optional agent-based deployment expands the monitoring scope to reach cloud infrastructure, satellite and remote offices, and DMZ networks.
