VMware ESX and VM Dashboard

What it shows: ESX Host status with 16 Virtual Machines

Key concepts you can apply:
This VMware dashboard underscores the creative flexibility inherent in Nimsoft Dashboards.  The cool 3-dimensional graphic shows a single ESX host with 16 guest machines, each serving various business functions including email, web, Blackberry, database, file, print server and more.  Each graphic element is configured as an active alarm object and will pop-up a filtered, color-coded alarm list when selected.

End to End Views

End-to-End Service Components w/ End-user QoS

What it shows: Service Components and End-User QoS

Key concepts you can apply:
This dashboard shows critical servers supporting an online business service. It also includes an object (leftmost) showing the end-user's experience with the online service. Note the response time metrics between each server - these are active text objects that update themselves at each poll interval. Selecting the end-user and server objects will launch a second-level detailed dashboard. Also included at the top of this dashboard are SLA compliance details.

Network Views

Network Status Dashboard

What it shows: Network Interface Resource Utilization and Status

Key concepts you can apply:
This dynamic Nimsoft dashboard displays network interface utilization and performance statistics in real-time. Indicators are placed in the dashboard to show interface bandwidth utilization, error packets, queue statistics, alarm status, and more.

Network Status Dashboard

Managed Service Provider (MSP) Views

Top Resources Dashboard

What it shows: Active Tables Containing Top Consumers, Resources, Performers, etc.

Key concepts you can apply:
The Nimsoft Dashboard Designer includes an active table object (amongst many other design objects) that can be populated with any of the 1000’s of data points monitored by Nimsoft.  This dashboard example is one that a service provider would observe to quickly understand the state of their customer’s business applications and IT environment.  Similar dashboards can be built with data filtered according to specific customers and shared via secure portal access.

Top Resources Dashboard


End User Quality of Service Views

End-user Experience Dashboard

What it shows: End-user Experience Performance Statistics for a Web Based Business Application

Key concepts you can apply:
Using the Bugzilla application GUI as a bitmap backdrop, this dashboard shows transaction response times as experienced by the end-user – transactions monitored include home page launch, login, bug search, bug view, and logout.  Additionally, each layer of the web server hosting the Bugzilla application is monitored for health status; this includes the Linux OS, Apache, MySQL and key Buzilla application processes and services.

End-user Experience Dashboard


MS Exchange Views

Microsoft Exchange QoS Dashboard

What it shows: Complete MS Exchange Status Visibility

Key concepts you can apply:
This Nimsoft for Microsoft Exchange QoS Dashboard provides visibility of key MS Exchange performance indicators such as MTA, SMTP, IS and server resources.  This dashboard example represents only a small subset of the comprehensive monitoring Nimsoft brings to market for MS Exchange environments.

Microsoft Exchange QoS Dashboard


Database Views

Oracle Health Status Dashboard

What it shows: Real-time & Historical Oracle Health Stats

Key concepts you can apply:
In this dashboard example, Nimsoft customers will have full visibility of their Oracle environment. Note the database query response statistics in the right portion of the dashboard – real-time and historical, included with alert indicators.

Oracle Health Status Dashboard

Database Server Health Status Dashboard

What it shows: Real-time & Historical Database Server Health Stats

Key concepts you can apply:
In this dashboard design example, Nimsoft customers will have full visibility of their database servers. This dashboard enables observation of the database server by subsystem alarm status, resource consumption, SQL query response time, overall server uptime, and more.

Database Server Health Status Dashboard


Services Views

Network Operations

What it shows: Network Services Across Geography

Key concepts you can apply:
In clean, clear, and comprehensive fashion, this dashboard displays network status across a geographic region. A complete listing of networked technologies and services is depicted with alarm status indicators (on the left), and to aid in correlating degrading services to a geographic region a national map is included to the right. Notice the response time indicators (listed lowest-left in the dashboard) showing network latency between locations.

Network Operations


Server Views

Server Status Dashboard

What it shows: Server Resource Utilization and Status

Key concepts you can apply:
Demonstrated in this dynamic dashboard is Nimsoft ability to collect and display a comprehensive set of server resource statistics. Indicators are placed in the dashboard to show server resource utilization, process and network interface activity, also included are alert indicators organized by key server subsystems.

Server Status Dashboard


Geographic Views

Geographical Dashboard

What it shows: Worldwide Map with Datacenter Locations Hosting VMware Server Farms.

Key concepts you can apply:
This dashboard features a fashionable backdrop map overlaid with active alarm indicators, providing a bird’s eye perspective of datacenter locations hosting VMware server farms.  VMware Administrators can drill down on the location icons and then into the underlying VMware server farms to isolate and remediate subsystems and resources that may be in a degraded state.

Geographical Dashboard

Geographical Dashboard

What it shows: Network Locations with Status Visibility

Key concepts you can apply:
Our customer monitors the IT infrastructure on oil rigs throughout the Gulf region. Importing a map and then placement of picture objects that represent the oil rigs provides a nice birds-eye view of this managed environment. Drilling into the oil rig objects will launch a second level dashboard that shows the configuration and status of network components.

Geographical Dashboard


Cisco VoIP Views

Cisco VoIP Dashboard

What it shows: VoIP Network and Application Server Performance Including Phone/Call Statistics

Key concepts you can apply:
This Cisco VoIP dashboard demonstrates a combined network/server/service perspective.  In a single dashboard network performance (critical for call quality) is monitored along with Cisco CallManager server resources (CPU, disk, processes, etc.) and is correlated against key VoIP services.  Nimsoft Probes for Cisco CallManager provide access to the abundance of VoIP call/phone/gateway statistics driving the CallManager graphs in this dashboard.  Nimsoft for Cisco IPSLA and Cisco QOS probes QOS provide insights into VoIP network performance.
