The benefits of external monitoring

How much benefit can outsourcing monitoring bring if you use it in time and correctly?

The question is multifaceted. and organizational, and technical, and financial.
By outsourcing monitoring, you free up a lot of resources and man-hours for organizing and maintaining a fault-tolerant system.

Because a good control system should be

1. External.

So that in the event of a drop in your channels, central routers or mail servers, the situation is fixed and messages are sent to you.

2. Reliable.

Checks must take place simultaneously from two or more different locations in the world. If your monitoring system goes down, someone needs to notice. You also need to make sure that the problem is on the service side, and not on the monitoring service. We receive data from 3 servers at once. And only if all active people talk about the problem - we send a notification. Thus, 2 servers may fail (system failure or updates), the system will continue to work. Also, such a scheme will filter false positives for problems from the monitoring server or along the route.

3. Resilient.

The message must be sent, even if a failure occurs in the system - in the database, in mail, in monitoring services and sending messages. We back up all services and control the sending of notifications.

4. Continuous.

Updates, holidays, replacement of employees, expansions and relocations should not concern the control of your services.

5. Safe.

And there are several criteria here. Configuring monitoring services, such as SNMP, Zabbix agents, so that attackers cannot get data either on information about the structure of your company or to management. And setting up and controlling your monitoring, so that someone does not accidentally or intentionally turn it off. Because the human factor and system failures occur. You will receive notifications from us through all communication channels about all changes.

6. Convenient.

Setting up monitoring in different systems is a rather long process. From installing a zabix, a munin, installing additional modules, setting up warning systems and response triggers to testing work. Every time you want to check a new service, you most likely need to go from additional modules and further down the list. All options are added according to one template.

7. Opportunities.

We try to provide maximum opportunities for our users. The most necessary directions - monitoring availability, checking responses of sites, certificates and services, we have implemented. We also provide monitoring for IPv6, HTTP2 checks and will continue to implement the required checks.
