Charting the course in multi-cloud monitoring: Key moments from 2024

'Why settle for partly cloudy?' That's why Site24x7 went all in on making multi-cloud monitoring smarter, faster, and a lot less stressful. IT teams faced the usual chaos—expired certificates, rogue servers, and surprise bottlenecks—but Site24x7 stepped in with a toolkit so sharp, it could cut through latency like butter.

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure: A landmark beginning

AWS Monitoring 

Site24x7 expanded its AWS monitoring suite with features that enhance visibility and operational control:

• Amazon RDS performance insights monitor comprehensive database performance to identify bottlenecks, optimize resource usage, and enhance efficiency.
• Elastic disaster recovery (AWS DRS) for real-time monitoring of disaster recovery environments ensures reliability and proactive alerting.
• RabbitMQ integration to monitor RabbitMQ brokers, nodes, and queues enables better performance management.
• AWS Glue and Kafka (Amazon MSK) monitoring for ETL job insights and Kafka workload optimization to improve data processing reliability and resource efficiency.
• Service quotas for all supported AWS services to centralize the management of service quotas for better operational control and planning.
  

Microsoft Azure Monitoring

• Azure key vault monitoring to obtain complete visibility into certificates, keys, and secrets, ensuring the secure handling of sensitive data. Get alerted for certificate expiration and unauthorized access to safeguard operational integrity.
• Disk monitoring with default thresholds to prevent overutilization, with predefined thresholds for OS and data disks, ensures optimal performance, storage management, and identification of abnormal disk changes. Another key advantage is that this will help cut down costs.
• Azure metric and dimension enhancements help monitor critical KPIs and statistics for Azure AI Search to enhance performance and cost efficiency.  
• Azure client secret expiry alerting to monitor proactively and get alerts on expiring Azure client secret to ensure uninterrupted application functionality.
• Resource monitoring enhancements for more than 11 Azure resources, including Disk, CosmosDB, Bastion, EventHub, and more, ensuring expanded visibility and actionable insights.
• Azure IT automation helps streamline IT operations by providing automation support for key Azure services, including Azure App Service, Azure PostgreSQL Flexible servers, Azure Database for MySQL Flexible servers, and more.
• Azure consolidated report support allows for a comprehensive report that combines insights from multiple subscriptions for a unified overview of Azure resources.
• VM instance server integration reports to optimize resource allocation with actionable insights into underutilized or over-utilized instances.
• Azure Management Group- Onboarding Model to manage and onboard subscriptions across multiple Azure accounts. Streamline the setup process and simplify onboarding with automatic discovery and effortless addition of multiple Azure subscriptions to Site24x7.
  
• Enhanced resource logs for centralized monitoring of Azure Resource Logs for services like App Service and CosmosDB simplify anomaly detection and troubleshooting.
  
• Azure account management alerts for service recommendations and license exhaustion provide actionable insights to optimize Azure unmonitored resources and notify you about license expiration to avoid service interruptions.

Google Cloud Monitoring

• We broadened our monitoring arena by adding support for several critical GCP new resources, including Interconnect, Cloud Armor, Network Load Balancer, and Application Load Balancer, for a more comprehensive cloud monitoring experience.
• GCP organization-level onboarding support seamlessly integrates and monitors all your GCP projects under one organization. Streamline monitoring, simplify management, and get better visibility across your cloud environment.
• VM instances server integration report for enhanced reporting for VM instances, with deeper insights into server performance and utilization trends.
• GCP uptime monitors to track the health and availability of your GCP-hosted services and applications without spending money on API calls. Also, significantly reduce the number of API calls, by leveraging metric profile support to monitor the KPIs you need. Get instant alerts on the status of your services and downtime issues, resolve them faster, and maintain optimal service reliability.
