AppManager for UNIX monitors operating system performance to provide you with visibility into the overall health of your network and the current status of your UNIX and Linux computers.
For example, you can use AppManager to:
Gather information about system statistics, such as CPU usage, processing time, queue lengths, memory usage, swap space, and I/O operations
Monitor system and application log files to check for messages that indicate problems or alert you to critical conditions
Monitor AIX and Solaris hardware log files to check for messages that indicate problems or alert you to critical AIX and Solaris hardware conditions
Monitor hardware status on Dell and HP computers running Linux, such as fan speed (Dell and HP), physical memory (Dell and HP), power consumption (Dell), and Voltage probe status (Dell)
You can configure AppManager to send notifications in the console, e-mail the IT administrator, or automatically perform an action when the system performance degrades or the system generates critical messages.
With AppManager, you can proactively manage servers and applications across your enterprise by checking for critical conditions, or operational errors, such as:
CPU, memory, or other system performance measurements that cross acceptable thresholds
Logon failures that might indicate a security violation
Network activity and communication failures
Processes that are running as root, hung, stopped, or consuming the most CPU and memory
Fan speed, power consumption, voltage probe, and physical memory changes that might indicate hardware failures
