Application Delivery Testing

IP SLA ReportIP SLA

SevOne detects and imports existing IP SLA tests that you configure on your Cisco Routers. SevOne will report on these statistics and provide alerts when threshold violations occur for slow response times, latency and jitter violations.

Additionally, SevOne provides a GUI for you to configure new IP SLA tests and “push” these tests to your routers.  As a final benefit, once you have built a test which you like, you can use our Bulk Handler to distribute multiple tests across your Cisco network.


IP SLA helps customers monitor the end-user experience by simulating application performance across the network.  SevOne monitors these response times and generates alerts when the response times exceed your threshold values.

IP SLA also provides a great baseline for testing your network’s VoIP readiness. By simulating VoIP calls across the network, you can evaluate if your network is VoIP ready.
 

TCP

SevOne’s Portshaker technology uses TCP to connect to servers and to ensure application availability as well as establish response time baselines.  If the server does not respond, Network Operators will get an alert and know that they have a degraded application that affects their users.

DNS

By monitoring DNS and response times, SevOne helps network operations teams determine if the issue truly is a network issue. Many perceived slowness complaints can be attributed to slow DNS response rather than being a symptom of network congestion or latency.

HTTP

SevOne can query web pages to determine if they respond appropriately. For example: How fast did the page respond?  How much data was transferred?  Did the page respond with error messages? These results are stored over time and are availble for alerting and baselines.

Server and Process Monitoring

SevOne monitors CPU, memory and the number of instances of each process. SevOne uses the Host Resources MIB data to alert when the DNS process stops running or when MYSQL process uses too much of the CPU and triggers a threshold violation.

SevOne can baseline process and memory utilization. For example: If a server CPU triggers a threshold violation, Process Monitoring can diagnose which process running on the server has the highest utilization. Similarly, if memory spikes, SevOne can report on which process consumes the most memory on the server.
