Master your IT Domain
Deploy the multi-faceted vigilance you need to ensure network delivery of critical business services.
Challenges include:
- Virtualization: What is the status of the VMs and hypervisor?
- Cloud: How do I manage internal and hosted infrastructure?
- Capacity management: Are your IT operations poised to handle increasing demands?
- Deep-dive application accessibility: What is the underlying health of services?
- Architectural optimization: Are resources running at top efficiency?
- Configuration monitoring: What has changed and did it impact service delivery?
The answer
Observer Infrastructure (OI). OI provides the powerful real-time active monitoring and historical reporting needed to solve these difficulties and many more.
How does it work?
It pre-emptively queries systems, applications, and critical resources to detect looming issues before they impact service delivery. OI transforms this sea of raw data into actionable information so you can prevent problems, optimize network performance, plan IT resources, and more. Plus data points can be summarized over time, providing deeper knowledge into trends that may impact current or future service delivery.
Decide for yourself
Explore OI's robust capabilities with OI Free. Our no-strings-attached version is absolutely free, and easily accessible via a web-based browser interface and hundreds of pre-defined out-of-box reports. It offers comprehensive intelligence for thousands of critical operational metrics, with no add-on modules or 30-day time restrictions.
OI Free download includes:
- Active discovery and configuration
- Up/down monitoring
- Network mapping
- Route monitoring
- Polling
- Event notification: alarms and alerts
- Device inventory
- Public and private cloud management
- Storage enclosure and SAN details
- Virtualization visibility

Potent Event Alerts
Like money, websites and servers rarely sleep. But they can become corrupt, sluggish, or completely shut down. With OI, there's no need to worry.
It alerts you to potential problems before they occur, providing data on conditions affecting all critical IT resources. OI's pre-emptive approach lets you deal with a slow Exchange server before it cripples enterprise email. Or fix SQL database bottlenecks before they bog customer transaction times.
OI both monitors and enables alerts on tens of thousands of device, service, application, and network metrics. Flexible and configurable, OI event notification manages resources and detects anomalies before they impact users – before a critical service goes offline.
Tired of getting wake-up notifications at 3am about issues like low-ink cartridge in a non-critical printer? OI lets you build prioritized alarm structures on multiple abnormalities by assigning precedence values for each event.
OI also offers customized options for event notification that run the gamut from simple pop-up notifications to SNMP traps to emails. Or you can fire up an application to instantly start the remediation process. If an issue does come up, OI speeds resolution by giving you the current and historic status through drilldown to the failing parameter.
Access Rich New Sources of Data
The OI flow monitoring is ideal for network and IT staff seeking to seamlessly incorporate flow-based data with existing infrastructure monitoring – like those acquired via polling of their native-based agents.
OI provides a more comprehensive perspective of your IT services. With its integrated functionality, you can now configure flow-enabled devices to transmit buckets of new data to OI so you have the advanced insights you need – right on your desktop.
Network Instruments' innovative resource management solution provides wide-scale visibility into flow data. This includes flexible NetFlow, IPFIX, AppFlow, and Medianet Performance Monitoring. Plus, it also significantly enhances application delivery visibility and provides detailed breakouts of traffic type and usage patterns.
OI flow benefits:
- Saves you the expense of costly add-on modules – OI Flow comes standard
- Provides monitoring support of flow-based technologies, including NetFlow, IPFIX, AppFlow, and Medianet
- Summarizes traffic at specific network locations
- Delivers traffic behavior intelligence alongside device health
- Leverages existing devices to gain insight into local and branch network health
- Aggregates all flow metrics with other system metrics
Network and application teams can quickly see flow data traversing local or remote sites. Instead of searching for flow data in various silos, OI provides metrics throughout your IT environment and aggregates them with other infrastructure parameters for ease of use. This expedites issue prevention and optimizes delivery of services across your entire network.

Sweeping Network Visibility
You're in the driver's seat with OI's active discovery, the first step in comprehensive device health monitoring.
Use OI to obtain immediate and actionable information methods:
- Spot degrading application health
- Detect VMs consuming excessive resources
- Uncover imminent disk drive failures
- Capture cloud provider metrics
- Assess critical infrastructure instantly
- Measure multi-tiered applications for health
- Validate router tables and software updates
- Visualize IT resources architecture
With advanced intelligence, OI automatically initiates the active discovery process by detecting the presence of all devices. Depending on device response, OI polls the device to build a comprehensive profile of each system. All of this is accomplished in a few easy steps.
Once the process begins, OI automatically:
- Discovers
- Collects
- Correlates
- Reports all IT operations
- Catalogs all monitored elements
- Periodically validates metrics via ongoing polling
If there's a response failure or values materially change, OI sends an instant alert so you can take appropriate action. With OI, automatic or user-defined logical groupings provide straight-forward information that meets your specific needs. For instance, you can build reports for server support that call out host and virtualization details, while the application team views relevant metrics for layer 7 parameters.
Network teams rely on OI's deep analytic power into router status and critical route paths – crucial for SLA monitoring by capturing IP SLA, NBAR, and WAAS services. Unlike other resource monitoring solutions, OI isn't limited to Windows®-based applications (WMI) and SNMP environments. OI accesses and integrates IT resources from diverse perspectives, including application response time based on well-known ports and synthetic transactions.
Deep Monitoring & Proactive Management
Profit from a wellness approach to network, system, and application health by taking proactive control of your most critical resources with OI.
What makes OI uniquely exceptional?
Most IT operational management solutions narrowly focus on a limited subset of key parameters, and many require numerous add-ons to attain comprehensive visibility. But OI is organically simple: one solution = in-depth network knowledge.
Using multiple strategic methods, OI easily quantifies thousands of critical metrics. Simply supply IP addresses and proper credentials and from that point forward, it's automatic and ongoing. No user input is required to get actionable information.

Pulling It All Together
OI provides deep information into significant IT resources by using advanced discovery and polling technologies. It converts walls of data into actionable information through flexible reporting and intuitive mapping visualization.
While OI offers exceptional polling capabilities, to reach complete network and application performance management, you need the Network Instruments Observer Reporting Server (ORS). ORS is the powerful reporting engine that unifies our performance monitoring solution. It not only works with OI, but also with our complete line of passive network and application management solutions like Observer and the GigaStor long-term packet capture device.
When ORS is used with OI and GigaStor, you have even greater management IQ, including the ability to find the connection between seemingly unrelated service events. For example, if end users complain of poor response time, the ORS dashboard may show degraded IBM WebSphere® MQ health. But if you drill down within the WebSphere MQ, your servers show excessive CPU utilization – the root cause of the problem. These details are all stored within the GigaStor, but are easily accessed remotely with both ORS and our management console Observer.
