Choose AAG to keep and ‘eye’ on their IBM i. Shield’s simple to install, highly functional solution for monitoring your environment. Using the notification options not only reduces operator workload but can also prevent minor issues becoming major problems. The frequency of some checks requires they perform at the highest level possible; this is something that Version 2.0 has continued to improve.
Says Chris Hird, Shield’s Director, “AAG 2.0 provides 128 ready-made checkpoints along with lots of other enhancements in the works. We have converted all our current clients to the new level and the feedback has been very positive, especially for some of the new features. We are constantly improving the product and have a lot of exciting new options in the pipeline that will make the user experience even better.”
New features in AAG 2.0 include a new installation wizard for clients who are running Nagios XI – reducing the drama and complexity for IBM i installations. Installation and configuration of a new IBM i system for monitoring now takes far less time than before due to the automated scripts that the wizard provides.
Implementation of graphical views using Grafana has been added to the Shield distribution of Nagios which is proving popular in the user community.
