Mobilize your Monitoring and Management with Pulseway

Monitoring and managing IT assets shouldn't tie you to your desk all day. Imagine having the freedom to move around and monitor assets right from your mobile device. This mobility means you can catch and address potential issues instantly, no matter where you are, improving uptime and efficiency. Our blog explores how Pulseway's mobile-first remote monitoring and management solution (RMM) solution empowers you to handle critical tasks from anywhere, keeping your IT environment in top shape.

Work from anywhere

Being a part of your company's on-call rotation is no fun. You have to stay close to your computer at all times, fearing that if you leave for a few minutes to run an errand or to have dinner, disaster might strike. Your momentary absence could cost your company a lot of money in the time that it takes you to make your way back to your computer.

However, you likely carry a mobile device, or two, everywhere you go these days. With your mobile device, you can step away from your computer, run errands or have dinner, and still be seconds away from resolving any issues that arise while you're away. The challenge is to provide maximum service uptime for your users and customers and to solve problems immediately.

Stay in control with Pulseway

The solution is to use Pulseway's monitoring and management software. Through Pulseway's apps or a web browser on your mobile device, you can restart services, issue commands, check utilization, restart systems, check disk space and work with individual files without rushing back to your computer to do so. And you won’t need to use a high bandwidth remote desktop session to do it either. You have instant and complete access to every Pulseway-enabled system on your network from anywhere, including the following:

• Windows Server (2003 – 2012 R2)
• Windows Desktops (XP – Windows 8)
• Mac OS X (10.8 or later)
• Linux (Major Distributions)
• .NET/Java Apps (Cloud API)

Schedule automated report generation and distribution to keep stakeholders informed and support data-driven decision-making.

Monitoring and management in real-time with Pulseway

Pulseway's solution goes beyond simple system up/down monitoring or providing a passive “look but can't touch” view. With real-time alerts, you'll be the first to know when something goes wrong with your critical systems. As an administrator, you have full access to all services, file systems, command windows and performance data. There’s no administrative task you can't perform, and you can automate your first line of defense by specifying alert conditions to trigger tasks like restarting a process or running a script.

On Windows, you can manage advanced services such as:

• Active Directory
• Exchange Server
• Hyper-V
• IIS
• SCOM
• SQL Server
• Windows Backups
• VMware hosts
• XenServer hosts
• Amazon services
• Azure services
• SNMP
• ESET Remote Administrator
• StorageCraft ShadowProtect

Additionally, you can run command line scripts, batch files, commands or PowerShell cmdlets to gather more information or to remedy a problem. By customizing monitoring and alerting on each system, you don't have to settle for a canned or out-of-the-box solution. Accept the defaults if you want or fine-tune each system to alert the way you want.

Monitor your critical applications

Pulseway enables you to monitor your applications using the REST API or the Cloud API. Display key runtime parameters and stats and use Web Hooks to interact with monitored instances in real-time. Send notifications when runtime parameters are out of bounds, errors occur or other important events happen. Manage embedded systems, websites, applications, backup scripts and more using any programming or scripting language

Embrace the mobile-first approach

Using a mobilized approach for monitoring and managing your systems makes perfect sense. With Pulseway, you get everything you need in one place, without the need to stop what you're doing and move to a different location for critical tasks. Enjoy the consistency of using the same interface on your mobile device as you do in the office. The full benefit of a mobile-first approach becomes evident when you find yourself out of the office longer than expected, yet still in complete control of your IT environment.
