Other Applications and Services use cases

  • for groupware setups based upon Microsoft products, use matching MS Exchange Server and/or MS SharePoint Server (in most cases, if devices is detected by discovery process, the exact version will be queried); not that it is generally safe, due to backward compatibility, to use older version’s templates
  • for majority of setups involving resource-intensive Web applications (CMS, portals, groupware, collaboration software etc), Memcached caching system can be used to query the capacity of that memory key-value cache
  • if Web surfing/access to external resources is either monitored or cached to reduce bandwidth volume, Squid Proxy Server may be of use (since Squid is one of most popular caching proxy systems); you can perform basic Web traffic accounting with that

Other Applications and Services tips

  • when using applications that do not provide inherently any security measures, use access control and other administrative-type restrictions to prevent unauthorized access
  • when monitoring legacy software versions, make use of secure channels mandatory; if application doesn’t support acceptable level of security, use SSH channels and similar encrypted media to access application
  • when monitoring multitude of similar devices from the same agent, try setting slightly different polling intervals for them; that can prevent stress load on monitoring system, preventing it from running many polls simultaneously
