MONITORING

Server and network monitoring

A failing disk or a saturated link is cheap to fix when you hear about it early. Razban sets up monitoring on your infrastructure, so your IT team sees every server and network device on one dashboard and gets an alert before users start calling.

Scope of the monitoring setup

What we monitor

  • Servers
  • Network equipment
  • Services and their log sources

What you receive

  • Zabbix and Splunk deployed on your own infrastructure
  • A status dashboard for servers, network and services
  • Alert thresholds and rules with named recipients

Suited to

  • IT teams that need to see an outage before users report it
  • Organizations with servers and network equipment on site
  • Teams that need availability monitoring alongside a SOC

Monitoring components

  • Zabbix and Splunk

    Monitoring and log collection tools installed and configured for the equipment and services you actually run.

  • Status dashboard

    Servers, network devices and services on one screen, so the IT team can see where a problem sits.

  • Threshold alerts

    Rules that warn you as soon as a service slows down, a resource runs short or a device stops responding.

  • Included with managed hosting

    Sites on managed secure hosting are already watched around the clock by Razban, with no separate setup.

Frequently asked questions

What does each of Zabbix and Splunk do?

Zabbix watches the status and performance of servers, network devices and services, and raises an alert when a threshold is crossed. Splunk collects logs from different sources so they can be searched and reviewed in one place.

Who receives the alerts?

The recipients for each service's alerts are agreed with your IT team during deployment.

How is monitoring different from a SOC?

Monitoring tells you whether servers, networks and services are up and performing. A security operations center looks at the same infrastructure for signs of attack and responds to security incidents. Many organizations run both.
