As Aquacer0 points out above, there are many choices available for server/application monitoring today. You mentioned SolarWinds above so I thought I would respond and say that you should definitely include Orion APM (Application Performance Monitor) within the products that you evaluate. You can download Orion from free from solarwinds.com and try it out for free. It can be installed, configured, and up and running in under an hour.

Of course, my opinion can’t exactly be considered to be unbiased as I’ve worked here at SolarWinds and helped to build the products that we offer for several years. So, don’t trust me. Instead, check out our community site at thwack.com where over 25,000 active members go to share their experiences with SolarWinds products and knowledge of network and systems monitoring technologies and best practices.

Good luck and if I can ever be of assistance please don’t hesitate to contact me at headgeek@solarwinds.com.

Thanks,
Josh Stephens
Head Geek, SolarWinds
