Sightline Systems: Streamlining Operations with Real-Time Performance Analytics

Sightline Systems offers real-time performance monitoring, big data analytics, and visualization focused on root cause analysis, anomaly detection, capacity planning, and forecasting for ClearPath Forward® systems.

The Sightline software suite is a powerful IT performance analytics solution that provides visibility across today’s modern cloud, virtual, and hybrid IT environments. With this single-pane-of-glass solution, you can consolidate infrastructure monitoring tools while collecting metrics from servers, hypervisors, applications, and devices in real time. And with the suite’s machine learning and predictive analytics capabilities, you’ll find it easier to diagnose infrastructure problems, pinpoint root causes, and forecast capacity constraints.

The suite is available for both ClearPath® OS 2200 and ClearPath MCP systems. A Sightline Power Agent resides on the monitored host and collects data on CPU utilization, memory, storage, databases, user-specified programs, and more. The data is then sent via TCP/IP to Sightline Enterprise Data Manager (EDM) for the alerting, analysis, display, and reporting your team needs to continuously monitor systems, proactively predict performance issues, and prevent production outages and data loss.

With the help of these interactive, intuitive visual tools, you’ll be able to:

• Streamline root cause analysis: By correlating and analyzing alerts and events across all servers, applications, and databases, you’ll be able to quickly connect the dots between first alert and final outcome, making it easy to detect patterns, trends, and anomalies that could result in costly downtime.
  
• Automate capacity planning: By analyzing historic resource utilization and application workloads, you’ll build a baseline of existing system performance, identify significant behavioral patterns and trends, and use this data to forecast capacity and resource requirements, identify potential bottlenecks, and ready yourself to maintain service levels even during utilization spikes.
  
• Advance performance analysis: By leveraging Sightline’s technology today, you’ll be primed to take advantage of future releases that use enhanced enrichment, visualization, and reporting capabilities – along with additional cloud and streaming service integrations – to make your data more accessible, visible, and valuable.
