Software Monitoring

In a business environment, software monitoring checks the incoming traffic for unauthorized access or possible data theft. Such monitoring software notes the source and time of traffic for the network administrator’s reference while troubleshooting any application. Monitoring software is normally used in maintaining large database applications and in security applications e.g. a financial application software.

An additional functionality of a monitoring software is to solve operating system problems and the system of the application itself. Certain considerations are made to ensure the safety of using monitoring software in most production environments.

There are 2 major types of monitoring software:

• Web Application Monitoring Software
  
  Such an application monitoring software is used to examine the program’s online activity and its interaction with other web-based programs. This software prevents unauthorized use and protects web applications from getting corrupted due to viruses.
  
  
• Database Application Monitoring Software
  
  Such an application monitoring software is normally used for examining activities of database-based applications. The database is protected from unauthorized access through this monitoring software.

CitraTest APM is an APM solution which monitors every application for availability, end to end response time, SLA enforcement. With Tevron's proprietary monitoring software solution, no application is left behind. Unlike most monitoring softwares, CitraTest APM is totally non-intrusive to the production environment. Absolutely no elements of CitraTest APM are installed on any application or database servers, thereby making CitraTest APM fully non-intrusive and independent of the application environment, just like a real user.

"Best-in-Class companies identified by Aberdeen surveys and interviews were found to be twice as likely as others to manage deployed services proactively. This demonstrates and underscores how solutions such as Tevron's CitraTest APM can help companies to maximize the business value of their IT investments by monitoring application performance proactively and comprehensively."
