LITHIUM Network Monitoring Platform is an integrated and feature rich network, server and appliance monitoring and management platform.
Designed to provide an end-to-end solution, Lithium includes automated device monitoring, out-of-the-box support for SNMP and an integrated trouble-ticket case management system.
The platform is built around a scalable, modular architecture that incorporates a Unix-based server-side component (Core) to perform automated device monitoring, data collection, analysis and storage and to manage the multi-user case management system.
Core is available for Mac OS X (Client/Server) and Linux (Debian, Fedora, RHEL and CentOS).
Windows and Mac OS X clients (Console) provide the user with a graphically rich and interactive monitoring and management console that delivers integration and efficient work-flow beyond the capabilities of web-based applications alone.
A web-based interface (Web) delivers an anywhere, anytime, portal to view all network monitoring information without the need for client applications from any web-enabled device.
Here are some key features of "LITHIUM Network Monitoring Platform Core":
Network:
Monitoring:
· Lithium has built-in support for monitoring virtually any network device that support SNMP. Basic network interfaces and common SNMP MIB support is included along with built-in support for monitoring routers and switches from 3Com, Cisco, HP and more.
Server:
Monitoring:
· In-depth support is provided for Apple???s Xserve (Intel and G5) and Mac OS X Server products as well as Windows, Linux and Unix servers. Lithium supports the proprietary Apple-specific monitoring protocols required to deliver an unparalleled level of monitoring in-sight for Mac OS X Server and Xserves.
Storage:
Monitoring:
· Promise V-Trak, Apple Xserve RAID and Infortrend-based Storage Devices are all supported out-of-the-box. Lithium???s monitoring support for Apple???s Xserve RAID devices uses Apple???s proprietary monitoring protocols to deliver superior monitoring coverage.
Custom:
Monitoring:
· Now with Lithium 5.0 you can import third-party SNMP MIBs into Lithium using our new Module Builder application to create custom Device Modules to use with Lithium. Building new Device Modules is as simple as loading the SNMP MIBs from the vendor, scanning the device and deciding what data values you want Lithium to monitor.
Application:
Monitoring:
· Monitor the performance and operation of applications and services with Lithium???s extensible, script-based Service Monitoring feature. Scripts for monitoring common services including HTTP, SMTP and IMAP are included. Custom Service Monitoring scripts can be written in any scripting language using a simple XML interface to communicate service status to Lithium.
Enterprise:
Integration:
· New features are being added in Lithium 5.0 to enhance Enterprise Integration with other network monitoring systems. Enterprise customers who prefer to use Lithium but need to have Lithium integrate with an upstream monitoring system will be pleasantly surprised with Lithium 5.0. More information will be made available soon.
Requirements:
· PostgreSQL needed.
Limitations:
· 30 days trial period.
