Unix Server Performance Monitoring and Analysis Tools
Monitor and analyze the most important metrics of Unix-based servers in one dashboard.
Comprehensive Unix monitoring and alerting for optimal Unix performance
SolarWinds® Server & Application Monitor (SAM) is designed to monitor Unix performance metrics in real time, alerting you when issues arise. You can use SAM to easily identify zombie processes and terminate them remotely.
SAM includes built-in performance metrics to monitor for CPU user time, system time, and idle time. You can also get metrics on kernel threads, run queue, disk operations/sec, total and user memory and swap, and page cache. The Unix performance monitoring solution in SolarWinds SAM is also built to provide out-of-the-box support to monitor Unix in AIX, Solaris, and HP-UX environments.
Isolate and address server hardware issues impacting Unix performance
Unix server monitoring within Server & Application Monitor can let you more easily see the status and performance of your server hardware. You can quickly see critical components such as fan speed, temperature, power supply, CPU, battery, hard drive status.
The Unix monitoring tools in SAM can also generate reports on hardware and software assets and alert on server hardware health and warranty expiration, OS, and VM resource usage.
Use a single, unified interface to monitor multiple platforms
You can use the unified interface in SolarWinds SAM to get detailed visibility to troubleshoot dependencies affecting Unix performance from across your entire IT environment. SAM is designed to let you monitor many vendors and provides this information all in a simplified, centralized view with 1200+ built-in application monitoring templates.
SAM can also help you more easily map dependencies between infrastructure elements and drill down for deeper visibility and faster troubleshooting. Through its native integration with other SolarWinds products like Virtualization Manager and Storage Resource Monitor, SAM can help simplify diagnosing and analyzing Unix server issues down to virtual and storage layers.
Get More on Unix Performance
Do you find yourself asking…
Unix performance monitoring can help you keep track of the various elements of your system and hardware with an impact on the performance of your Unix operating system.
Unix system monitoring involves tracking system resources tied to your Unix servers for any specific changes or states indicative of a problem with your Unix performance. This goes beyond helping IT administrators catch issues before end users feel their impact. Monitoring can also allow for better Unix performance tuning, so administrators can improve Unix efficiency and, in turn, end user experience.
While there are many system and hardware elements you need to track as part of effective Unix server monitoring, they key resources to pay attention to include:
- Memory
- CPU
- Disk space
- Network time
- I/O time
- Communications lines
- Applications programs
