Editor's Notes
- At Runecast we develop a new approach to IT monitoring , a proactive approach which uses that online repository of known issues maintained by each vendor, also called a knowledge base, to identify possible issues before they appear. Let’s dive into that and understand why we believe this is needed.
- When an IT problem occurs, causing some servers or services to be unavailable , the traditional IT monitoring catches that incident and creates an alert, which is then picked up by an IT administrator. He investigates the problem using his knowledge or by googling the symptoms, finds a solution, usually in the knowledge base of the vendor, or some blog article and fixes the issue. The problem with this approach is that about 90% of the issues affecting IT infrastructures are already known and documented issues. The bigger problem is that in typical enterprise companies, loss caused by outage of a IT infrastructure may reach millions of $.
