Features
End-to-End Monitoring
Achieve high performance with continuous monitoring and end-to-end visibility
Solve complex problems with deep dive diagnostics
SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor (SAM) end-to-end monitoring tools deliver a deeper view of your applications environment to help identify and troubleshoot performance issues before end-users are impacted.
Increase agility with end-to-end monitoring automation
Simplify end-to-end monitoring with automation. Automate many common processes using Server & Application Monitor to save manual administration time.
Monitor end-user experience for business transactions
Synthetic transaction monitoring helps you analyze the impact of code changes on the end-user experience and web application performance. Test your websites in the pre-production stage, so you can detect performance issues ahead of time.
Forecast resource capacity needs for workload management
Monitor server capacity and resource utilization of your physical and virtual environment over time and easily identify capacity needs allowing you to optimize resource procurement and manage workloads more effectively.
Server Capacity Planning
Simplify capacity planning and forecast server resource requirements
Monitor server capacity and resource usage for server capacity planning
System admins need to stay on top of their server capacity calculations to avoid being blindsided when their servers start experiencing problems and impacting performance.
SolarWinds® Server & Application Monitor (SAM) helps you do this by providing built-in capacity forecast charts and metrics to help you identify when server resources reach warning and critical thresholds.
Optimize server and hardware resource investments through right-size resource allocation
Staying on top of what resource investments you need and where can help you save money overall. With Server & Application Monitor, you can take the guesswork out of the server sizing process and avoid unnecessary costs for server hardware resources when you encounter poor server performance.
Use monitoring templates to stay on top of server capacity calculations
SAM offers continuous server monitoring to help you stay on top of key metrics for your server clusters, so you can be confident they’re available and operating at their peak level of performance. SAM provides historical and real-time health and performance information and resource capacity forecasting, making you better equipped to engage in server sizing calculations and plan for your future capacity needs.
Create customized alerts to more effectively track key server capacity metrics
You can implement alerts for any monitored element of your environment, including your server clusters. When SAM detects a problem with any of its monitored components, it will automatically notify your team, so you can act before the issue impacts performance.
Gain visibility into server capacity issues with a unified AppStack dashboard
SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor (SAM) can give you a lot of insight into your server utilization and available capacity to help with your server cluster planning on its own.
Monitoring for Custom Applications
Centralized performance monitoring of custom and commercial 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.
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.
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).
SAM API Pollers—Monitor Metrics via External REST APIs
You can use the API poller feature to monitor metrics via external REST APIs, providing an easier way to collect data from modern application stacks, unique hardware, IoT devices, and other entities using the REST API to pass information. And now you can collect 10X more metrics per API poller.
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.
Application Discovery and Dependency Mapping Software
Discovery and dependency mapping provides critical insights
Discover application network connections by using dependency mapping tools
SolarWinds SAM application discovery tools are designed to provide visibility into server activity, allowing you to view what inbound connections are linked to your application and servers. You can also more easily identify the incoming port, service, and server to determine their internal resource consumption.
Use application dependency mapping software to monitor network communication of dependent services
With an application dependency mapping tool, you can create custom maps of groups or entities to track the response time of dependent services. By visualizing logical and physical relationships, you gain insight into connection ports, services, network latency, packet loss, and TCP data, so you can more quickly troubleshoot issues.
Configure alerts on network communication issues
SolarWinds SAM is built to allow you to establish custom thresholds and alerts for network latency, packet loss, and uptime monitoring for dependent services.
Easily monitor application performance alongside overall infrastructure health
Monitoring server health can play an important part of understanding the performance of applications and their dependencies. At the core of SolarWinds SAM is its ability to monitor overall sever and application performance, including monitoring server uptime, providing insights to help you detect hardware failures, and more easily optimize resource utilization.
