Server Diagnostic Tool for HP, IBM, and Other Major Hardware Vendors
Monitor hardware performance and status from a single pane of glass
Discover, monitor, diagnose, and troubleshoot server connections
Critical business applications typically rely on multiple servers exchanging data, so it’s critical to have server diagnostic tools that allow you to detect and redress issues when they arise.
SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor (SAM) offers visibility into your connection details, allowing you to see the individual processes running on each server, how much of your various resources each process is using, and the status of connections between servers and their dependent applications. SAM polls nodes and uses the hardware monitoring agent software as provided by the hardware manufacturer. SAM then visualizes these relationships and analyzes vital network metrics for faster troubleshooting.
Monitor specific server services for hardware diagnostic and troubleshooting issues
As a server hardware diagnostic tool, SAM automatically scans your network hardware and recommends monitoring templates based on whether the node is operating as an IIS, SQL, ASP.NET, or another kind of server. These templates discover the appropriate applications and automatically add them, allowing you to quickly generate reports. SAM polls nodes using hardware monitoring agent software from major manufacturers like HP, Dell, and IBM, and can run diagnostics on both physical and VMware hosts.
Monitor the availability and performance of HP, Dell, and IBM servers
Regardless which major manufacturer you purchased your network hardware from, SAM offers robust server hardware diagnostic tools that allow you to track critical health metrics and proactively identify performance issues. This includes metrics like server response time, top processes per CPU load, and other server volume statistics. SAM supports this with proactive alerts designed to keep you in the know before issues can negatively affect end users and critical business services.
Use preconfigured or custom alerts to stay abreast of server status
Out of the box, SAM offers numerous preset alerts that include preconfigured contingencies, actions, and settings. These alerts can be duplicated and customized to trigger follow-up actions, which can include sending emails containing information about the event, logging the alert to a file, and resetting the machine in question, among others. Alerts can be triggered by any of the applications, servers, and other nodes SAM monitors, as the applications works as both an HP server hardware diagnostic tool and IBM server hardware diagnostic tool.

Do you find yourself asking…
When network problems begin to manifest, identifying the root cause is often easier said than done. Given the complexity of modern networks, there are multiple potential hardware failure points that problems can stem from and pinpointing whether the issue is related to bandwidth constraints, malfunctioning components, misconfigurations, or some combination of faults can be difficult without the proper server diagnostic tools.
A server failure or slowdown, for instance, can be caused by an overburdened CPU, malfunctioning power supply, insufficient memory or disk space, or other factors. Environmental factors like voltage fluctuations or fan failures can also create issues. Having an HP, Dell, or IBM server diagnostic tool makes it easier to identify root causes, troubleshoot network hardware issues, and ensure your system performance is optimized.
Hardware monitoring is foundational to improving network performance, and server diagnostic tools provide real-time visibility into the status of your infrastructure and the utilization of key resources—like CPU load, memory usage, and disk capacity—as well as the ability to examine historical performance for signs of previously undetected patterns or cycles. Hardware monitoring allows you to establish baselines for important metrics like server temperature and CPU fan speed and receive notifications if these metrics reach or exceed critical thresholds. These baselines can be leveraged to forecast utilization and capacity needs, which is critical to determining your procurement strategies as your business’s needs expand and change. However, without robust, Dell, IBM, or HP server hardware diagnostic tools, you’ll lack the visibility and data to be able to accurately forecast.
Finally, while monitoring metrics is crucial, metrics alone don’t paint a holistic and comprehensive picture of your network infrastructure—server hardware diagnostic tools provide the context that ties performance metrics to the mission-critical services and applications they support. When urgent issues appear, you can move quickly to remediate the situation while continuing to proactively detect repair potential failures before they impact your overall network performance.
