How internal network monitoring contributes to better customer experience?

Website monitoring prevents you from losing web customers and helps increase website return on investment. We have examined Website External Monitoring in our previous post. External Monitoring looks at your website from outside your organization’s firewall and measures customer experience and alerts you if problems occur.

To accomplish a deeper understanding of the real cause of the problem, businesses need to compare outside the firewall monitoring results with the findings from monitoring agents located inside the firewall. This service is called Website Internal Monitoring.

Internal monitoring is used for checking websites, servers and network services that are not accessible outside of an organization’s firewall. This technique extends website monitoring reach, and provides deeper perspective into key systems performance indicators to find bottlenecks, diagnose problems and reduce cost to increase efficiency of IT operations. All these will ultimately affect your web customer experience.

For example, by process monitoring you can find out your server CPU and website response time correlations. Maybe you had received an alert from an external monitor that your website is slow or down. Your server response time was low or it hasn’t responded for some reason. Unless you have a chance to measure from different internal angles you won’t be able to compare and find out the problem. For example, it could have been that one of your key processes on your server had consumed your machine memory causing the downtime.

Monitis internal monitoring allows around the clock testing of your servers and devices for resource utilization. By monitoring key processes on your servers you will be able to determine CPU and memory consumption by each process. This will reveal obvious problems long before the processor or memory could be permanently damaged.

Process monitoring is important, since some processes can consume too much memory. This can cause inefficient operations of your web servers and databases and ultimately affect your customer experience with your site.

Monitis http and ping tests allow monitoring critical applications from your client location to ensure mutual connectivity for better business and customer satisfaction.
If you are concerned about your target market experience with your website you can install multiple agents on different servers and geographic location and monitor the same resource and detect problems.

With Monitis internal monitoring agent you can also monitor your intranet applications: such as CRM (Customer Relationship Management), Document management systems for uptime and performance to ensure system the best operations of your IT infrastructure.

Monitis internal agent supports different platforms: Windows, Linux and Sun.

Internal website monitoring is activated using smart agents which are easily deployed on any internal or even external computer that stores critical data and applications.

If you have IT people on your staff, you can assign this task to that person, but by using web interface of Monitis service, you can also watch and control your website monitoring picture.

You can conveniently manage your internal and external monitoring through a single interface Monitis Dashboard. Multiple reports and charts on one screen make it easy to compare and understand the real cause of lost connections or performance problems so you can increase your customer satisfaction.
