Summary
Managing a stable production deployment
of Teamcenter® software that is always
available, reliable and responsive requires
continuous performance metrics from the
infrastructure and application components.
Teamcenter system monitoring automation
(TSMA), which is an Advanced Technical
Services (ATS) offering, provides a Siemens
PLM Software expert to guide the implementation of a cost-effective solution that
can automate the collection of metrics
from servers, clients and applications. The
solution uses Nagios XI, which is a popular
application monitoring software that supports the use of Java Mmanagement
Eextensions (JMX) technology, to collect
available performance metrics from the
Teamcenter application tiers using the
Siemens PLM Software-provided plugins,
and presents the results in graphical form.
The application-level metrics together with
the representative client performance-level
metrics provide a continuous snapshot of
Teamcenter application health and behavior, enabling the administrators to stay
ahead of any issues in addition to reporting
overall system health.
Overview
The Siemens PLM Software expert will provide the configuration and installation
prerequisites for the system monitoring
solution and the required Teamcenter
plugins, and will then configure the Nagios
XI application with standard Siemens PLM
Software dashboards for different
Teamcenter tiers.
