One of our friend had a problem. They have a hosting business with lots of Windows servers but also lots of GNU/Linux servers as well. They needed a monitoring solution that could easily give views to the hosted servers for them but also to their end customers. Onrego’s Online System Center, Server and Service Monitoring does the trick!

One great thing to know is that System Center Operations Manager 2012 R2 does support several Unixes as well as GNU/Linux distributions. While Onrego’s Online System Center cloud service does include the latest version of System Center Operations Manager, we were able to start monitoring our friends’ hosting company’s GNU/Linux machines.

Using one cloud based monitoring solution for Windows and Unix/GNU/Linux servers (and for network devices if wanted) allows us to create comprehensive views to delivered services, that consists of several components, such as Windows-based database servers and GNU/Linux based front-end (read: web) servers.

Using Onrego Dashboard, a HTML5 browsed based dashboard, you can view alerts, services and servers using your mobile phone, tablet or of course your desktop or laptop computer.

You can deep dive into any server you wish to:

You can get a detailed you for a specific component or services, such as an ethernet interface with performance counter data:
