EC2 stopped instances
Right now a stopped EC2 instance is seen as DOWN. However, this day and age, stopping an instance is more often than not intended. Certainly in a cloud setup where you want to save costs. An option would be to schedule maintenance for those instances, but then you need to manually do this each time you shut down an instance. It would be better if one could chose whether a stopped instance should report as DOWN or not.
Feature Request - Maintenance Report
Create a report that allows: To check if Maintenance is been executed as planned by the organization. To validate that incidents are not been marked as maintenance by operators.
Feature Request - Filter alert logs by Monitor
When viewing alarms you can click on the "alert logs" to view the logs of when/where alerts were sent. It would be nice if from this view it took you specifically to the alert logs for this alarm. Additionally, you should be able to filter the alert logs for a specific monitor.
status page
Is there a way to include availability % in status page or to merge availability summary report page with status page ? Regards, Youssef
Feature Request - Add comments to scheduled Maintenance
Currently, maintenance events generated by scheduled maintenance have no information regarding the maintenance. This means that if users are not rigorous on adding comments, when checking a specific monitor there is no way to know if a maintenance was scheduled or not (and the reason of the maintenance). This idea could be implemented in 2 ways: Add a new section on the create scheduled maintenance called "Comments" Add as a comment to a scheduled maintenance the Display Name + Description. (Or the
Feature request - Dependency Monitors
I would really like to have an option for configuring dependencies for monitors. Consider this scenario: Lets imagine 50 (or whatever number of web applications) running at a given data center or server. If the network or server goes down, I would receive alerts/notifications for all of those web sites. It would be better if we can configure a network map (such as in Icinga) or on a simpler level, have an ability to define monitor dependencies. In my scenario described, those 50 web site monitors
Combining Cert and other basic web checks with Web checks
These two should be one check for monitoring https sites.. This way customers don't waste a full check on a cert check that only expires yearly at minimum, most people I know purchase multiple year certs so having a separate check for that is not needed. Also, site defacement and other checks that can fit in the same request should be bundled as options in the website check.
iframe feature - open in new tab when clicked
We currently have the iframe code embedded on our company website. When you click on the iframe, it loads the next Site24x7 page within the iframe itself, so it becomes a window within a window. We’re looking for a way to make the iframe open in a new tab when someone clicks on it. Per my ticket 329465, I was advised this would be a feature request and should submit this to the forum.
Provide method - see what monitors assocated with user group
Hi Support, When deleting User Groups created, at times we find that it has associated monitors error. There doesn't seem to be a way in the Site24x7 portal to find what monitors are related to User Groups. The only way to date is to raise a support ticket to have you query this on the back end. Thanks, David
Monitor Edit Screen Dropdown Sort
Hi Team, We have an issue where on new monitors some users forget to set these to fields to something we prefer. Is there a way to control the default that we can set to "MUST CHANGE" or better set the field as required (which forces them to change it)? Thank you for your consideration. Regards, David
AWS resource ARN's
Would it be possible to return the AWS resource ARN's when requesting all monitors through the API? Right now we need to compose the ARN's ourselves, which works, but it would be easier and cleaner if we could just grab the ARN from the returning JSON.
Add additional threshold criteria options
I would like to see the ability for thresholds to have more comparisons then just 'exceeds'. Less then and equal to would be a great start. Ability to set thresholds that alert if it exceeds a certain value for longer then a certain time period would also be useful in removing false positives.
Cleanup of removed instances
As it is now, EC2 instances that get deleted, are in a suspended state. I can see why that is. However, it would be nice to have the option to automatically remove resources that are no longer present. Like, every first of the month or so.
Plans for anomaly detection or outlier detection?
Hi, for server monitoring I have to define thresholds ... do you have any plans for more intelligence in your product like anomaly detection or outlier detection so I do not have to define thresholds anymore? Sven
Include Monitor ID or URL to the standard list of Action parameters
We have actions set up to pass Site24x7 alerts through to a central alert management tool (OpsGenie in our case). The standard Incident parameters give us all the right detail about the alert but don't give us an easy way to get back to the affected monitor in Site24x7, we have to navigate there manually. I'd like to see the Monitor Summary URL passed through with all the other parameters so users can click through (they may have to log in to site24x7 first but that's fine). There is already a Link
Feature Request - SLA for High availability scenarios.
On the definition of SLA we require a way to indicate that servers or services are part of a High availability solution (Or cluster solution). This should affect SLA calculations in the following Way: Site24x7 should consider an outage only if all elements of the High availability solution are not available. Examples: This applies to create SLAs for DNS services (Multiple DNS servers), HA cluster database, etc.
Syslog and Configuration Backup for NMS
Good Afternoon, I'm requesting syslog and configuration backup features for the new NMS product. For syslog, this would be the ability to display network device log messages within the portal. For configuration backup, this would be the ability to have the poller agent back up network device configurations, similar to the Linux program Rancid. This would allow easier manageability for MSP's looking to leverage the NMS product to manage and troubleshoot customer networks. Thank you.
Schedule regular maintenance on every two weeks
Hello, As we do new releases of our product on two weeks cycles we have defined as well a maintenance windows in which we do schedule the deployment of the new versions. So we would like to exclude these maintenance time windows from the availability reporting and also avoid getting alerts. To achieve this we need an option to be able to schedule maintenance on a bi-weekly basis. Currently the only possibility is only either daily or weekly. Can you please provide a feature which is allows us to
PostgreSQL Monitoring
Are there any plans to include monitoring for PostgreSQL?
Control over Alerting
We need to be able to have more control over when alerts are triggered. Should a threshold be reached or exceeded, we should be able to tell the platform not to alert unless it stays that way for a specific time period. This will avoid false positives. We find it so frustrating that such a simple feature has not been implemented leading to our engineers being woken up in the middle of the night for alerts that are normal server behavior.
View Scheduled Maintenance by Monitor or Group
Rather than viewing the calendar for maintenance it would be nice to go to a group or single monitor and view a list of scheduled maintenance for it.
Static Timezones for created items
In attempting to setup weekly/monthly maintenance for our customers, across multiple timezones, I discovered an oddity. When created a maintenance (scheduled report and other items with a timestamp,) I found that the timestamp (start/stop) is only static in its "time" and not in its timezone. Example: My account is set to Central. I create a maintenance for midnight Central. If at any time the account timezone is modified the maintenance is now scheduled for midnight of the new timezone. If the account
Support PHP CLI
I think is common have "cronjob" for PHP and use the PHP without web. In this case the Site24x7 is useless, the Site24x7 not support the PHP CLI. If run a PHP using, for example: php /path/to/file.php This will not be detect by Site24x7!
Availability Dashboard
Currently there are a few dashboard that can be created. Something that we are finding needed and not available (as far as I have looked) is an availability dashboard.. Would be nice to have a dashboard that shows Monitor Name - Status - Availability % With intervals of 1, 5, 15, 30, 60 minute intervals as options. A table would work ... But I think that buttons would look way nicer and allow full page use... Edit: Changed reports to dashboard
Security Monitoring for failed ACL/Firewall Rule
Looking for an inverse monitor that I can point to a particular host/IP and be alerted when a successful connection is made. This will allow me to alert if an ACL/Firewall has failed and the service is open to the internet.
Clearer API Output
Currently when we Activate or Suspend a check via the api we get the following response: HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type:application/json;charset=UTF-8
{
"code": 0,
"message": "success",
} It would be nice to be able to get the check name in the response so we know which ones are successful and which ones fail, something like this: HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type:application/json;charset=UTF-8
{
"code": 0, "name": "Website Name" "message": "success",
}
Web RUM filter; allow exclusion/inclusion of pages/domains
We've several sub-domains accessed from our main site and the way we have to include the RUM client causes some of these sub-domains to be monitored. Some of these domains, or specific pages within the domain, we do not want to monitor. Some or parts of these domains, that we do not want to monitor, are consuming RUM page views. It would be great if we could exclude some of these sub-domains from being monitored by RUM. Having a central storage of exclusions/inclusion would be better than making
Deploy Custom Monitoring Script on Site24x7 probes (no LinuxAgent needed)
A feature I miss and prevents us from migrating some stuff over from alertra.com is the ability to deploy a custom (bash/python/perl) script to the monitoring probes of Site24x7. This would allow us to monitor seldom services like EPP or to implement more complex transactions to get an exhaustive monitoring of a REST-service, node.js-Thingie etc. I don't want to use a LinuxAgent, since this would require me to deploy my own probes in the cloud to get an outside view on things.
Add "Swap Utilization threshold" for Server Monitor
Please add "Swap Utilization Threshold" to the server monitor. (Configuration Profile -> Threshold and Availability -> Server monitor type) The product does a great job charting/graphing swap utilization, but does not let me trigger alarms for high swap utilization. We presently have a production issue where swap utilization is growing (free swap is dropping). We can't figure out how to make site24x7 alert us to this issue at 90% swap utilized, so we kindly ask for this new feature to be considered.
RUM alerts based on Apdex Score
It would be really nice to be able to get an alert if the Apdex score was going below .6 or some editable number.
Alert only when all locations reporting response time above threshold
I'm being inundated with alerts because one or two sites are above a threshold for response time. I'd like to change it so that ALL sites must be over a threshold. I prefer this because if one or two out of eight sites are reaching my site slowly, but all others are just fine, there is likely little I can do, as it is probably caused by circumstances beyond my control. Is there a way to do this? Thanks!
Alert improvement/enhancement
Hi Site24x7, Is it possible to add a dynamic URL's when creating a new monitoring test? The dynamic URL can contain a link to a knowledge base/website. When a test fails an alert email is received. This email will contain a link (Dynamic URL) to the knowledge base/website. So people can quickly navigate to a website where a procedure is written how to solve the alert/problem. Best regards Robert Pavlovic Ingenico ePayments
Maintenance reoccuring every month
Hello, we have an IT infrastructure maintenance every month on the same Saturday (or weekend). So with the available options I have to enter that maintenance day every month again as the frequency only allows: ( ) Once ( ) Daily ( ) Weekly My questions to Site24x7 is would it be possible to include "Monthly" into the maintenance selection? But I am also interested if other Site24x7 forum users would like to have this option of monthly maintenance available. Could you reply and let us know your opinion?
New Status Page layout
I like the new layout of the status pages however, there are a few things that would make them even better... 1.) Custom logo per page. Some companies have different departments/sub companies and it would be nice to be able to create branding to match the type or checks or business sector they will be representing. 2.) For the Incident History, it would be better to have those in smaller blocks of color with the date and number of issues if there are any: Red = Services were down -> Click to see
Featured request: Deacativate ICMP Ping in RCA reports
Hello team, because of firewall and sequrity reasons our servers does not allow ping request. It would be nice if we could have the possiblity to deactivate the "ping analysis" inside the root clause analysis reports. Problem is if monitor is identified as down, RCA report will be generated and try to get ping information from our servers. This will fail for sequrity reason and will result into "false" values inside the RCA report. The ping analysis will always fail. It would be nice if we could
Pie Charts in Reports.
Hi, We've noticed that since September you no longer include Pie Charts in the reporting. We used to find these very useful for displaying availability of the monitored service. Is there any plans to reintroduce the pie charts or is there a workaround that we could use? Many thanks, Sheldon Jolly Ingenico ePayments.
Monitoring any AWS CloudWatch metric
Hi, today there is monitoring of specific EC2 metrics, specific RDS metrics, and specific S3 metrics. It would be helpful to monitor generic AWS CloudWatch metrics. For example, we're monitoring CloudFront, SNS, Billing, and some user-generated metrics. Thanks! Erez
Total IIS request received in a period of time
Hello, Could you include the option to see the total number of requests received in a period of time. This will help to see the site performance and usability. Regards, Sathish Ravi
Server last reboot time
Hello Team, Could you include a line in a summary page to show server last reboot time and date? Thanks, Sathish Ravi
Ability to associate two different notification profiles with a single monitor
We hope to see the possibility to specify two different notification profiles in one monitor, specifically one for down/trouble alert and one for up alert. This way we can specify different email templates or maybe the ability to specify two different email templates to be executed depending on the alert type. The main function would be different message when the service is down and when the service is up.
