Heroix Announces Longitude V5

New features of Longitude V5 include:

• Annotated SLAs and Reports
Performance reports can now self-annotate by linking performance metrics with underlying event information, allowing immediate drill down for troubleshooting. Additionally, users can now add comments to reports and SLAs, such as background information about events or actions taken in response to a problem situation – giving stakeholders a complete picture and understanding of the issue, cause, impact, and corrective measures.

• Synthetic Web Transactions
Essential for understanding and effectively managing Web user experiences, synthetic web transactions provide a critical piece to the business service puzzle. Longitude can now measure how users actually interact with your Web-based applications, and incorporate those metrics into SLA monitoring, for a view that relates the end user experience to the key infrastructure components that support the application and its associated business service.

• Topology Based Network Representation
Graphical representations of resources based on geography, network topology or logical hierarchy make it easy to locate and prioritize problems. IT organizations can utilize built-in maps and grids or supply their own maps, facility photos, network diagrams, or other images.

• Auto Discovery and Other Scalability Enhancements
Consistent with Longitude’s Hour One Deployment goal, the auto discovery capability automatically scans and identifies the key applications and systems present on the network that need to be monitored – eliminating the manual task of setting up elements to be monitored. Longitude V5 also supports schedules for notifications and actions, as well as the suppression of events for maintenance periods and other expected situations.

• VMware Monitoring and Other Expanded Coverage
In response to the growing prevalence of virtualized computing environments, Longitude V5 monitors the virtual machine images themselves as well as the impact of those virtual machines on the physical hardware. Longitude V5 also adds support for monitoring IBM Director, WebSphere V6, SQL Server 2005, network shares, and log files.
