Now if you have even a single server monitoring license<\/a> you can monitor an unlimited number of servers at no extra charge! The Server Monitoring<\/a> modules are add-ons for Load Tester<\/a> that add the ability to monitor a couple dozen different parameters from the Windows or Linux operating systems or the .NET application server. Previously they were licensed on a per-server basis, which meant a license had to be issued for each server, and customers who purchased a bunch had the hassle of managing a handful of licenses, each of which had to be installed and updated.<\/p>\n

In the end there was a choice between ease of use and the complicated coding needed to improve the licensing, and I decide to just make monitoring a simple on\/off switch. Either you own a monitoring license or you don’t. If you don’t have the module you can still monitor memory and CPU usage on an unlimited number of servers, but if you have a license with ASA turned on, suddenly you can monitor dozens of OS-level parameters for Linux, and the same parameters on Windows, PLUS a bunch of .NET performance stats. One nice thing about the OS-level stats is we spent time matching the stats between Linux and Windows so if you have a mixed-OS rig when you compare stats you’re comparing the same thing between operating systems.<\/p>\n

Note that this is only available on the Load Tester 4.2 release<\/a> or later. If you own an earlier release you’ll have to upgrade<\/a> to take advantage of unlimited monitoring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
