About Longitude

With Longitude you get the best of both worlds – agentless software that’s not only affordable and easy to install and use, but gives you the kind of comprehensive application and server performance monitoring that you’d expect from high end agent-based software. Longitude monitors hundreds of vital performance metrics, alerts you to problems, takes any corrective actions you specify, and generates reports and graphs that demonstrate just how well your operating system, databases, web servers, messaging, and J2EE applications are performing. Best of all, everything is presented in dashboard views that let you drill down to investigate problems and find answers fast.

In keeping with its robust functionality, Heroix Longitude scales with ease. It’s equally adept at monitoring a few servers or many. And unlike some other agentless solutions, Longitude is totally self-contained with no prerequisites for layered software. You won’t have to install extra software, nor will you get stung by unexpected costs such as additional database, report writer, and runtime license fees. In most cases, Longitude can be deployed in about 15 minutes!
