What's new in AWS infrastructure monitoring
Good day folks! Today we are excited to unveil two new additions in AWS infrastructure monitoring. First, we are bringing in IAM role based support for securely connecting your AWS account with Site24x7; then we are bringing in a raft of new additions to the AWS add monitor flow for an improved CloudWatch integration. Now, let's take a look at them one by one. IAM role based access. Instead of creating IAM users, generating access keys, sharing them and rotating them in the future, you can now enable
[Announcement] Introducing APM Insight Performance Reports
We, at Site24x7, are happy to introduce performance reports for application monitoring. Early stages of APM Insight was completely DevOps focused and our existing customers did not have the luxury of comparing top level metrics historically, unlike the rest of Server and Website monitoring in Site24x7. With the evolving complexity of cloud applications and customer centric application development, we decided historical reports were not just for IT, but also for the DevOps community. On that note,

This would be a helpful feature.
Amazon Web Service S3 Buckets confusing or not accurate
I added an "Amazon Web Service" Monitor, and I followed the instructions to add credentials so that site24x7 will have read-only access to my AWS information. I use S3, Cloudfront, Cloudwatch and IAM but the site24x7 monitor only checks EC2, DynamoDB, Load balancer and S3. So at least I can monitor S3. But I don't understand the reported metrics, and I believe they are incorrect. The "Amazon Web Service" Monitor says I have a "bucket size" of 9. What does this mean? Looking at my sole S3 bucket,
Software application inventory\audit - inlcusive reports
Hi All, Would be great if a feature exist to monitor which software is installed on a windows server (like programs and features on a windows server). This information could be visible in the "Inventory" section of a server or on the "Server Tools" section. Furthermore a global report function for all installed versions of a software in the complete environment could help to keep the environment updated and secure! Inventory Example: Software Name - Version - Installed Date - Installer User SQL Server
Page load historical trend
My site requires authentication so it seems like I need to use the Site24x7 recorder to log in and then navigate the site. I am interested in seeing the page load time over time for each page I visit as part of a recorded journey through my site. This will be displayed on a dashboard to show my top 10 pages of historical page load time. Currently Site24x7 offers historical page load time, but it includes all the pages visited during a recorded journey and you have to unselected all the other pages
Services and Processes Template\Profile
We need a Profile for "Services and Processes". We have many servers with the same service monitoring. In this case it would be helpfull if a possibility exist to activate a service\processes profil for X servers. Thank you in advance!
[Announcement]: Now enable DNSSEC Validation in DNS Monitors
Dear Users, We're happy to announce the implementation of DNSSEC validation in DNS Monitor. With this new enhancement in Site24x7, you can now validate your DNS responses using Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC extensions). What is DNSSEC? DNS Hijacking has become much more prevalent now than the past. A normal DNS lookup is usually unencrypted and can be easily altered. DNSSEC adds security measures to the DNS protocol and facilitates DNS response validation. With DNSSEC, the DNS protocol
Multiple PagerDuty service keys
We use site24x7 to monitor several services which are managed by different teams, with different escalation policies on PagerDuty, but as only 1 service key is currently supported we cannot have different service alerts go to those different teams / policies.
DNSSEC Monitoring Please
Please add the ability to validate and monitor DNSSEC zones. Due to multiple dependencies and periodic manual key rollover, DNSSEC failures are more common than one would hope. For validation and monitoring examples, please see: https://www.thousandeyes.com/solutions/dns http://dnssec-debugger.verisignlabs.com http://dnsviz.net/ Thank you!
"SSL certificate untrusted" ?
I'm trying to create a new SSL certificate monitor. I'm pointing it at a client's website. It has a valid SSL cert that will expire notAfter=Aug 19 23:59:59 2017 GMT. I can talk to the website using `openssl s_client` and Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. But when I try to create an SSL certificate monitor, I get an error message telling me I didn't configure the monitor correctly because "SSL certificate untrusted". openssl s_client -servername ${HOSTNAME} -tlsextdebug -msg -connect ${HOSTNAME}:443
Group Templates
I know there are already talks of sub grouping and other group updates. I would like to add this as a feature to have that would greatly increase the functionality of groups. Would be nice to have groups created that have a type class attached to it and each type class will have the options available to that kind of monitor. For example: Main Group Database Group Website Group Linux Server Group Each sub-group will be able to have a template set as the default for the group so when you add a new
Notifiaction Profile for Cert Checks
Trying to setup notification profiles for use with certs where we can setup an email template with a URL to troubleshooting documentation. I see the oprion in web and other monitors but not on the cert. Is this something that can be added soon?

Main Issue Alerting in Header of Site24x7
Hi All, it would be nice if we have a possibillity to inform colleagues about a core issue in the environment in the header of Site24x7. A ticker would be an awesome solution for any critical announcment.

Installed Agent on Windows Server however it wont register or be read for miniroting. All other servers installed fine. Please let me know, thanks!
Subscribe to forums?
Maybe I'm just missing it but is there an option to subscribe to the forums? I know you can subscribe to a post once you comment on it but I would like to be able to just subscribe to a post (without commenting) or I'd like to get alerted of new posts in certain areas (or all areas.)
[Announcement]: Schedule a monthly maintenance window for your monitored resource.
Scheduled maintenance has evolved into a useful tool to plan and manage the routine maintenance of IT resources. We already support one-time maintenance and repeated maintenance viz., daily and weekly; now, we're excited to extend support for monthly maintenance. With the all new scheduled monthly maintenance, you can create flexible maintenance windows for your monitors. You can either schedule maintenance window based on a specific date or a specific Nth weekday of the month. In the add schedule
Cpanel and Cloudlinux integrate.
Is there a plan to integrate with Cpanel and Cloudlinux anytime soon?
Do not re-register agent after re-install a server
From time to time we reinstall our terminalservers (50). After a re-installation the server register in the monitoring portal again. This is a problem because there are two servers in the monitoring with the same name! Is there a workarround (registry key or something else) available to do NOT reregister the agent and map the server to the "old" entry? How does other customers handle this? Regards Patrik
Alerts - Can we configure differently?
Hi Folks - Happy Friday, I hope everyone is doing well! Currently, I have multiple windows services being checked per each server. I have it configured to alert "down" when the service is anything other than operating normally, rather than in "Trouble". However, if a server goes down (NOT the server) the alert still says the Server when down via SMS or email subject line. It isn't until you open the email to see that the reason the server is down is due to the fact a service is down. Is there anyway
I want to Export Monitors from one subscription and import them into another
HOw can I do that? We bought a separate subscription to provide some separation since groups were not adequate. And now we have to re-enter all the monitors into the new one, one at a time.
Introducing enhanced Amazon EC2 monitoring - Combine your CloudWatch and system metrics now!
In a multi-tenant cloud environment like AWS, resources of the underlying hardware are virtualized and shared. CloudWatch, Amazon's native monitoring solution does a great job by providing basic infrastructure level metrics. However there lies a small
list of Things what are required for automation

Currently we use the following Features of Site24x7: 1) Auto-Discovery by Site24x7 RO AWS User for multiple Accounts with Threshold / Monitoring of RDS, EC2 and ELBs. 2) Installation of Site24x7 Linux & Windows Server Agents 3) development of our own plugins and related them to the Server Agents 4) End2End
No data available for SQL monitor
Hi, I just installed a agent in a Windows 2012 server. it promptly auto discovered Windows, IIS and SQL servers installed in the same box and it started posting data from windows and IIS server. However, there is no data posted from MS SQL server. I tried to troubleshoot unsuccessfully, as per No data recieved from SQL server Please help to resolve this issue With thanks in advance Babu
Inventory Monitor View Enhancements
Hi Team, It would be handy if we could filter by Monitor Group on the Inventory Monitor view in admin area. This would allow us to filter and then confirm at regular intervals that the notification profile and threshold profile are set correctly. I try using the search but as you can see that doesn't work exactly as needed do to profiles having similar name. It would be handy if you could sort by the different columns. In the older version of Site24x7 there was a view like this that also showed the
Introducing better viewability for network interfaces
Has jumping over dashboards or tabs and searching for a key piece of data ever bothered you? Don't worry, you are no anomaly. The new interface view of Site24x7's network monitoring enables network administrators to keep a close tab on the performance of all their interfaces. Thus, the protracted process of searching interfaces under devices is eliminated. Site24x7 now offers its users the ease to view all their interfaces under one view as an independent tab. This simplification gives a bird's-eye
Setup Progress Alerts
I just sent in a support ticket but thought I'd bring it up here as well as I'm sure others have the same concern. When we log in there is a warning: Internet Services: We have discovered several resources Is there a way to view the list without having to add it? The only options we get are: View List & Add Ignore How would we go about seeing what those resources are and then decide if we want to add them? The just blindly add things system that you are currently using is not a good way to do things.

Amazon Web Services detection - but as part of setup set the notification/threshold/user we want
Hi Team, Today we setup Amazon Web Services detection which goes out and finds stuff which is great. But as we can't tell the detection engine what notication/threshold/user group we want. Once detection is complete we need to go through the hard process of figuring out what is new and then go one by one and add noticaition/threshold/user group to each. (We sometimes use the bulk rollout of change as well). Would be helpful if we can as part of the detection setup, say if you find EC2 set this way,
Monitor: Web Application (Real Browser) - location question
Hi, I'm currently on a free account for evaluation purposes and set up a "Web Application (Real Browser)" with two locations 1. Frankfurt (Primary) and 2. Munich When checking the log report for that monitor it appears that the main location Frankfurt reports for every check (~6-7minutes) but the 2nd location Munich only appears ever ~30minutes/5th check. Why is the 2nd location not reporting for every regular check? Is this a limitation because of the trial account? Thank you in advance!
Feature Request - Add custom Date for SLA Reports
Currently SLA report only allows to check up to 30 days. We are interested to get SLA reports for custom dates, to check and report if SLAs have been accomplished according to contract agreements. Example: Our internal SLAs are measured by semester.
Sort Options on Various pages
It would be nice if pages with lists would allow for sorting by header. My biggest need/ask for this is under the "Outages." This currently sorts alphabetically by monitor name. I'd like to be able to pull up the last 7 days and sort by the "Start Time" of the outages so I could easily see how many outage impacts there are on a specific day. Start Date/Time seems more of a logical default sort for this type of list. Other Examples: In the "Users and Alerts" section I may want to sort by "User Role"
Agent Service could not establish communication
Morning! I need help with this agent. Already did reintallation, stop / start services, and communication goes up and down. Communication with ports ok, the server responds to the ping, but in monitoring show this agent service failure. Anyone know how stabilze this servoce? S.O: Windows Server 2008
Process SMTPD warnings Linux Webservers
Hi all, Last week I've installed the Site24x7 agent on my 3 Linux webservers running Centos 7 and Plesk. No problems, everything was fine. All of a sudden monitoring went nuts complaining about the SMTPD process failing/not running. This is true because when mail is sent, the process pops up. When Postfix has delivered the mail, the process is stopped. I rather check if a service like Postfix is active instead of a process. Any chance someone can give me some advice regarding the monitoring of services
Monitoring services
Hi, Can services (within a server) get monitored to show in the status page, instead of showing the server status, I want to see the services' status. Regards, Youssef
Add Windows Services to monitor group?
Is there a way to add Windows Services to a monitor group? It looks like a service/process is lumped into the server as a whole - but I have a couple apps that I run different "environments" on the same server.
