MotaAgent

In the Agent-based Monitoring system of Motadata AIOps, you can install MotaAgent on your Linux-based or Windows-based monitors. MotaAgent establishes a connection between the monitor and Motadata AIOps, enabling efficient and comprehensive monitoring.

The MotaAgent installed on each device acts as a mediator, continuously collecting monitoring data and transmitting it to the main AIOps server for analysis. This data includes vital information about the device's performance, availability, and other relevant metrics.

Motadata's Agent-based monitoring ensures seamless communication between the agent and the AIOps server, facilitating real-time monitoring and data collection. The agent actively monitors the devices it is installed on and sends the required data to the AIOps server at regular intervals.

Once the agent is successfully installed and configured on a device, it becomes registered as an agent-monitored device within the AIOps server. Each registered device is uniquely identified by its hostname, which serves as a key attribute for effective device management and monitoring.

By utilizing Agent-based Monitoring, you can enhance the monitoring capabilities of Motadata AIOps, enabling you to gather valuable insights and proactively manage the health and performance of your devices.

List of metrics updated every second by the agent

MotaAgent is a powerful program that updates the value of multiple metrics every second. The list of metrics that are updated every second are listed below:

FieldDescription
system.memory.free.bytesThe value of the free memory in the monitored host. (bytes)
system.memory.used.bytesThe value of used memory in the monitored host. (bytes)
system.memory.free.percentThe percentage of free memory out of the total memory in the monitored host. (percentage)
system.memory.used.percentThe percentage of used memory out of the total memory in the monitored host.(percentage)
system.cpu.percentThe value of the CPU utilization percent of the monitored host. (percentage)

Advantages of Agent-based monitoring with Motadata AIOps

  • Real-time Polling: The MotaAgent enables the collection and processing of real-time metrics from devices, with a polling interval as short as 1 second. This ensures that you have up-to-date and accurate insights into the performance and status of your infrastructure.

  • Continuous Monitoring: Even if the communication link between the agent and Motadata AIOps is temporarily disrupted, you don't have to worry about losing monitoring data. The agent stores the collected data locally for a specified period, ensuring continuous monitoring even during connectivity issues.

  • Enhanced Performance: Agent-based Monitoring empowers you to monitor your entire infrastructure comprehensively. By eliminating performance issues, you gain better visibility into the health, availability, and performance of your devices, allowing you to proactively address potential bottlenecks and optimize system performance.

  • Simplified Setup: Setting up monitoring for your devices is made easy with Agent-based Monitoring. Simply install the agent on the desired devices, and they will start sending monitoring data to Motadata AIOps without the need for complex authentication processes. This streamlines the monitoring deployment and accelerates the time to insights.

  • Improved Customer Satisfaction: With quick and easy access to the required information from the system, Agent-based Monitoring contributes to improved customer satisfaction. The ability to monitor devices in real-time, identify and resolve issues promptly, ensures a seamless experience for end-users, ultimately enhancing customer satisfaction levels.

  • Robust Data Collection: The physical installation of the agent directly on the device ensures robust and continuous data collection, even in scenarios where the IP address of a device is variable. This guarantees uninterrupted monitoring and data collection, providing a comprehensive view of your infrastructure's performance and health.

By leveraging the advantages of Agent-based Monitoring in Motadata AIOps, you can proactively manage your infrastructure, optimize performance, and deliver exceptional user experiences.
