Designed and built by DBAs for DBAs Support for heterogeneous platforms, enabling monitoring of multiple databases simultaneously Built-in escalating alarm notifies you or alternate administrator of impending problems Statistical and historical data collection for further analysis Built-in Performance Analysis, recommends tuning improvements Low overhead Customizable interface Keeping large and complex database environments up and running is a constant challenge. Warning signs or degraded performance are often not noticed, resulting in downtime or unacceptable response time. Lack of appropriate warning tools make problems inevitable. With I/Watch’s hands-off operation, even busy database administrators can constantly monitor complex database and operating system activity. Monitoring specified exception conditions or performance characteristics, I/Watch identifies to problems automatically and takes you through the necessary steps to respond ? from pinpointing the problem all the way to its final resolution. While monitoring your system, you can use data gathered by I/Watch to trigger alarms, perform statistical analysis or graph trends in real time. I/Watch runs unattended, 24x7, alerting you of potential problems and enabling you to resolve problems before end users are affected. Its escalating alarm feature alerts additional personnel if the primary administrator doesn't respond within a designated time limit. If you are alerted while away from your desk, you can use the Java Client feature to view your database from any web browser. I/Watch also provides historical replay and analysis capabilities to identify the causes of any problems. I/Watch is just one component of Quest Software’s integrated Production Support solutions, which include: real-time diagnostic and resolutions, unattended enterprise monitoring, SQL statement tuning, space reorganization, and capacity planning.
