[hobbit] Desktop Monitoring

[Matthew Moldvan]

James,

We do some monitoring for Linux based desktops and it works relatively 
well.  As long as those remote sites can talk back to your Xymon server on 
port 1984 it shouldn't be a problem from a network perspective.

>From a monitoring perspective, you'd probably want to run some tests while 
the user isn't at their system and watch the memory usage and network 
traffic.  If there is a bottleneck in your network implementation that may 
be helpful, and if your app has heavy JavaScript or Java use, watching the 
memory info would be helpful too.  If it's an app that does a lot of disk 
writes on the client, that's another place to look (something like an 
iostat for Windows).

HTH,
Matt.

[hobbit] Desktop Monitoring



Is anyone doing any kind of monitoring of Desktop Clients
with Xymon? 
 
I?m using the Windows Client to monitor the Windows Servers,
but I?m thinking of monitoring desktop clients at remote sites.
 
We get users complaining that their desktops are slowing accessing
our Web Based Applications. (This is a dedicated business with remote
offices and several thousand users).
 
We want to try and track their desktops and what?s happening with them.
 
Any suggestions?
 
Thanks?James
