Product Overview
Sightline Enterprise Data Manager (EDM) is at the center of the Sightline Software Suite. EDM is a J2EE application comprised of two components: the Data Collector Service (DCS) and the web-based EDM user interface. Together, these two components provide central control and management for data collection and maintenance, agent configuration/ management, alert processing, reporting, a browser-based user interface, and more.
Sightline EDM includes the following features:
-
EDM provides central administration through a single interface to aggregated information regarding all of the components within your IT infrastructure.
-
EDM gathers Sightline performance data from hundreds or thousands of monitored systems and data sources, using both agent-based and agent-less data collection methods.
-
EDM manages a data repository and archive of performance data. EDM summarizes and archives data as it is collected, so the data you need is available when and where you need it, and at the granularity required to answer the question at hand.
-
EDM provides Sightline Agent configuration capabilities – configuration and management for all Sightline agent-based data collection can be performed from the web-based EDM console. With EDM, you no longer need direct access to the system to update workload definitions, view log files, or even restart the Agent.
-
EDM provides central alerting capabilities. As data is collected, user-configured alerts are evaluated, and predetermined actions are taken. Send an email, execute a command, or send an SNMP trap to a third-party framework. You can view tracked alerts in real-time or historically.
-
EDM’s correlation engine compares the behavior of your target metric to all the other metrics on the system, and all the metrics on any other monitored systems. Similar behavior is detected regardless of the units or scale of the other metrics, and the time range can be shifted to allow for possible delays in the appearance cause-and-effect relationship between systems.
-
Clairvor, Sightline’s root-cause analysis engine, provides automated correlation and reporting capabilities when threshold values are exceeded.
-
EDM includes ForSight for automated forecasting. With ForSight, you can perform both scheduled and ad hoc forecasting, based on any metric stored in the Sightline data repository.
-
EDM provides the most robust reporting capabilities available from a performance management solution today. Reports can be customized by user, and can be automated to run at the user’s convenience.
If you have an existing implementation of the Sightline Software Suite that’s based on data collection from Sightline Expert Advisor/Vision (EA/V), you can analyze the data collected and stored by EDM using EA/V. Simply open the trace files created by EDM. All of the analysis features that you’ve become familiar with are available, plus the centralized configuration and administration capabilities from EDM.
