Overview
boom is a distributed client-server monitoring solution that
helps IT departments to prevent, detect and solve problems on the
managed systems, hosts, applications and services.
 |
The powerful filtering and correlation engine allows to
increase the efficiency of the IT administrators by reducing the number
of incidents and pin pointing of hot spots in the environment.
The Agent based architecture provides local intelligence, reliable
operation and minimize the network traffic. Each Agent can take the
role of a monitoring station that provides agent-less monitoring for
remote applications, services and hosts that don't have an agent
installed. Firewalled and DHCP environments are handled by the secure
communication layer.
The Role based configuration simplifies the configuration and rollout
for complex environments and keeps the Administrators in control.

Clients, boom managements Plug-ins (MPIs) and further add-on modules.
