## Salient Features

As one of the key components of the ThoughtData Solution, Infrasense sensor collects real time statistics for all your IT infrastructure like servers, network devices etc, It also collects information from APM and real user monitoring(RUM) agents installed for application performance monitoring. All collected data is sent in real time to Enterprise360 platform. Salient features of Infrasense includes the following functions:

##### Server infrastructure monitoring

- Continuous data capture of infrastructure health related parameters of your business critical application servers
- Get alerted on servers and services which are down and also those running into resource performance issues like CPU, memory, storage etc
- Report on infrastructure resources usage and capacity to make key decisions for infrastructure upgrades and capacity planning
- Monitor Linux based servers using remote SSH or SNMP based methods without needing to install any software agents on application servers
- Monitor windows based servers using remote SNMP or WMI based methods without needing to install any software agents on application servers


##### Network devices performance monitoring

- Continuous data capture of infrastructure health related parameters of your business critical network devices like routers, switches, wireless access points, printers , firewalls, security appliances etc
- Get alerted on devices and services which are down and also those running into resource performance issues like CPU, memory, storage etc

- Monitor any network device which supports SNMP method
- Monitor generic and vendor specific SNMP Mibs
- Build custom dashboards for vendor specific metrics and devices

##### Application performance monitoring(APM)

- Continuous data capture of application performance specific health related parameters of your business critical applications
- Track end user application transactions end to end from front end to middleware to back end and database to detect failures and performance issues and nail down the root cause in simple steps
- Support for most common application framework like java, nodejs(GA release). .Net, python, golang frameworks(Beta release)
- Deep application transaction telemetry to detect performance bottlenecks on external application API integrations
- Detect and track application exceptions, causes and stack traces
- Build custom application performance monitoring(APM) dashboards to meet your monitoring and use case requirements

##### Real user monitoring(RUM)

- Continuous data capture of end user application front end failures and performance of your business critical applications
- Track performance of your web based application UI performance from real users and their UI interactions in real time
- Detect problems experienced by customers in using the application workflows in various UI components and navigation's
- Detect and track application UI exceptions, causes traces
- Build custom real user monitoring(RUM) dashboards to meet your UI monitoring and use case requirements

##### Synthetic monitoring for web based URLs

- Setup URL monitoring for any HTTP/HTTPs based URLs like web services, database services etc
- Build custom Synthetic URL monitoring dashboards to meet your monitoring use case requirements


##### RestAPI and Database monitoring

- Test your business application API integrations in real time and get alerted on failures and performance issues on your third party or partner APIs impacting your application and users
- Get read to use performance statistics from your databases like elasticsearch, mongodb, MariaDB, Oracle, MySQL DB etc
- Setup and run your custom queries on your databases to get custom statistics

##### Custom app specific log monitoring

- Setup and collect system level and app specific logs and collect only key metrics from logs to get higher visibility into app level failures and issues

**Performance and scalability advantages **

##### High Performance

- Continuous, data capture from various sources of infrastructure and applications servers using both passive or active monitoring technology depending on your deployment/needs.

##### High Fidelity

- Real-time collection, parsing of various types of infrastructure and application key performance indicators using direct extraction of data or via logs.
- Continuous export of derived performance metadata in secured compressed binary format to the Enterprise360 platform.

##### Fast Results

- Ultra-fast collection, parsing and retrieval of statistical information using indexing architecture.

##### Extensive Visibility

- Extensive visibility into end to end infrastructure and application failures and performance
