An Exploration Scrutiny of Systems Performance Monitoring Tools: An Applications and Agentless Server Approach


Phumzile Nomnga and Mfundo Shakes Scott

Performance monitoring tools play a critical role in the overall productivity of business organizations by providing the necessary means of measuring the performance of the system or server attributes of the organization. They measure system or server throughput and processor usage through programmed software or technological platforms. Their monitoring is extremely efficient such that Network administrators normally rely on them wholeheartedly and without any doubts. Their monitoring statistical results normally compel the Network Administrators to either believe that the system or server performance is normal or else make decisive interventions on system or server performance. The efficiency of these performance monitoring tools builds confidence and reliability in Network Administrators such that they always view the statistical results as accurate and genuine. The responsibility of measuring the performance accuracy of the performance monitoring tools normally does not constitute the duties and responsibilities of Network Administrators. This, therefore, result into a situation whereby this essential responsibility is not executed under the presumption that the performance monitoring tools are accurate and genuine. This holds in various business organizations despite the fact that some of these performance monitoring tools may poorly perform under certain server or system conditions. It is with this background that this research project is undertaken, which is to conduct an exploration scrutiny of applications and Agentless server performance monitoring tools. The basis behind the exploration scrutiny is to advise and provide expert guidance to Network Server and Applications Administrators on what to monitor, why to monitor, and optimal threshold.
