Simplify IT monitoring.
GroundWork Monitor® is a powerful IT monitoring software solution that monitors physical, virtual, cloud, and hybrid infrastructures. GroundWork Open Source will simplify your IT monitoring by providing a single pane of glass for your entire IT environment.
Unified Monitoring
We bring together performance and availability for your entire application stack and infrastructure. With flexible and customizable workflows, as well as powerful integrations, GroundWork Open Source is your central point in IT monitoring data collection and status alerting. We track application health, automatically deploys monitoring, and identifies network issues.
Unified Monitoring
Storage
Poor I/O and capacity issues can bring an organization to its knees. Virtualized storage, overprovisioning, and other management improvements increase the complexity of your organization. GroundWork adjust dynamically to your changing environment, allowing you to focus on business instead of tracking down problems. Wide range of supported vendors: NetApp, EMC, more
Gather any metric available from disk, block, object storage
See storage slowdowns and outages alongside other IT
No extra charges for monitoring profile packs
Compute
Virtual and physical monitored servers are the beating heart of your whole business. Monitor every interconnected VM, server, container and more. Automatically deploy monitoring with each scaling event.
- Full graphing and history for your hypervisors, VM, and networks
- Wide device coverage for monitored server and VM types
- No extra charges for monitoring profile packs
- Scales to thousands of devices and millions of service checks
Network
With intelligent, unified monitoring that understands your network, you can find out about network issues before anyone else. Auto discovery and topology mapping can stifle alarm storms. With unified monitoring, all the information need for network improvements are in one place. Advanced notifications and correlation help you cut through the thousands of events and get to the heart of the matter.
Automation
GroundWork Open Source agents, with API-based monitoring, make real-time data gathering a reality. With automated network discovery and device registration, we make it easy to reduce manual intervention… and focus on what’s important to you. GroundWork Discovery, Cloud Hub, and GDMA help you keep track of your ever-changing infrastructure environment.
Applications
Wherever your apps publish data, you can gather it in GroundWork and track application health. Put all your apps key performance data in one place for tuning and troubleshooting.
Discovery
Get a handle on your ever changing infrastructure environment with Discovery. GroundWork provides monitoring tools that will intelligently assist your initial installation as well as automatically detecting changes and adjusting monitoring.
- Automated device discovery
- Topology maps
- Inventory
- Rogue Device Detection
Cloud Hub
Whether your virtualization is on-premise, cloud, or a hybrid, GroundWork has you covered. Our CloudHub connector allows you to connect to the API of your virtualization products and import critical metrics into the GroundWork system with just a few clicks. The connector then handles keeping GroundWork in sync with changes made to your virtualization environment.
- Easy, click and forget setup.
- On-premise, Cloud, and hybrid-cloud
- Correlate virtualization metrics with guest metrics to identify issues quickly
GDMA
Leverage your virtualization templates to automatically add monitoring when a new system is provisioned with GroundWork Distributed Monitoring Agent (GDMA). GDMA is a lightweight agent that can be added to just about any device type. The agent can automatically deploy monitoring profiles, allowing you to focus on your business and not on monitoring configuration.
- Automatically add new devices to GroundWork by deploying GDMA
- GDMA can automatically add OS monitoring profiles and application profiles to ease administration
- GDMA auto registers with the GroundWork server and maintain their configuration through regular update intervals
Operations Analytics
Data overload? GroundWork Open Source can help. With effective log data management technology, data analysis graphing, and open API’s for your data warehousing, we are the monitoring solution for your IT data management suite.
PERFORMANCE VISUALIZATION
Identify choke-points and performance bottlenecks, both short-term and long-term. Integrated Grafana for powerful and flexible visualization so you can create and share time series dashboards of all data or any monitored event.
- Graph any monitoring data metric against any other for comparisons
- Build a dashboard to quickly spot problems
- Identify performance bottlenecks across your entire infrastructure and software stack
- Plan for long-term capacity need
LOG ANALYSIS
Event data from a monitoring system alerts you to abnormal behavior, but log data gives you actual root cause analysis. With GroundWork’s Log Bridge, you can combine both to give you the whole picture.
Bi-directional integration
Put selected log data into GroundWork monitor for alerting and GroundWork monitoring data into your log analysis tool
Combined structured unified monitoring data with unstructured log data
Monitor for your compliance with regulations
Don’t have log analytics yet? Deploy GroundWork’s Elastic ELK stack optimized for IT operations
Have Splunk? GroundWork integrates with that, too
VIEWS
Visually see your monitoring data on a geographic map, floor plan, organizational chart, or software architecture diagram. GroundWork can bring your own image of data to life.
Easily pload any JPEG, GIF or PNG picture for a background
Map the logical or physical representation for your organization with ease
See roll up status for each map entity and drill down for detailed status info
GroundWork HA
GroundWork HA uses Linbit to create a fully supported, custom configured installation.
Advantages:
- Preservation of monitoring availability when hardware fails.
- Maintenance isolation (for upgrades, etc.).
- Elimination of split brain.
- Additional fault tolerance.
