“I use the Sysgem Explorer app every day to view text files, command files and log files. Down time in our plant costs $20k per hour or more, so the system performance alerts configured with Sysgem Enterprise Manager for are invaluable to us. Here’s where Sysgem pays for itself: ​ High CPU usage — the alert lists the program with was taking the CPU time so we don’t have to guess. This has been extremely valuable in debugging applications and preventing downtime. Disk drive failure — our disks are configured as RAID 1 so a single disk failure does not cause a problem. However, without the Sysgem System Manager alerts, we wouldn’t know a disk had failed, so the alert enables us to replace the failed disk quickly before a second drive failure would cause downtime. RAID controller cache battery — this alert lets us know when the battery is not charging and needs to be replaced. This prevents possible data loss or corruption. We also trend CPU usage and Oracle performance and can see how these change over time which can point to potential problems.”
