Distributed Monitoring

i-enable rmf (remote monitoring framework) is a scalable distributed monitoring system for geographically diversified, multi-site IT infrastructures. Distributed monitoring brings in scalability and control by designing the monitoring process in a distributed environment. The deployment architecture is made simple as the same tool / software runs as Manager as well as Aggregator with only the characteristics changing, based on the configuration. 

i-enable rmf MCM (Metrics Collection Manager) is installed at each site (could be a customer location / data center) where it collects and processes the data for the  monitored metrics. If a distributed setup is defined, MCM sends the collected data to a centralized unit called i-enable rmf MCA2 (Metrics Collection Aggregator). The i-enable rmf MCM requires a connection on Port 4320 to connect to MCA2 and the communication channel (socket) is secured with Secure Socket Layer (SSL) enablement.

Once the data for monitored metrics is received at MCA2, it will be processed and stored. A notification is sent. This gives you the ability to view the health / performance status of all the sites in a single console and a centralized environment.

Advantages of Distributed Monitoring include:

• Minimized bandwidth utilization over WAN links by having Managers installed at LAN of each site, and communications with the Aggregator installed at the corporate office or data center
• Secured SSL communication between the Managers and the Aggregator
• Centralized notification and incident management for the monitored metrics
