For performance monitoring, we recommend cacti for routers and switches, and nagios for servers. These packages monitor and record system performance and send alerts if thresholds have been crossed, or if applications fail.

The information gathered by these programs over time is also useful in capacity planning.

We realize that the usefulness of any monitoring solution depends entirely on its credibility -- you want to know that when you receive an alert, it's something worth looking at. We tune your alert thresholds so that you receive the information you need, without being spammed by false positives.

We can also configure responses to events which can include complex escalation rules for notification and automated application restarts.
