OneSight Administrator Guide

Deciding Which Monitors to Use
If you want to know…
Is my web site’s URL functioning?
Is the sequence of URL used in a
customer transaction working smoothly?
Is my DNS server resolving domain
names?
Is my FTP server transferring requested
files?
Is my Mail server up and functioning
properly?
Is a machine associated with my web site
up and running?
Is the application running on a specific
port available?
Are the services on my Windows server
available?
I usually check one Perfmon metric to
figure out what’s going on with a
particular Windows machine. Can I
monitor that metric with OneSight?
Can I check on the results of a query I
usually run to check on my database?
Can I check on a specific SNMP metric
on a single machine?
Do this...
Create a URL monitor.
Create an Oracle Test
for Web Applications
Transaction monitor.
Create a DNS monitor.
Create an FTP monitor.
Create a Mail monitor.
Create a Ping monitor.
Create a Port monitor.
Create a Service
monitor.
Create a Perfmon
monitor.
Create a Database
monitor.
Create an SNMP
monitor.
