The release of GroundWork Monitor 7.2.1 by GroundWork Open Source offers two new GroundWork Cloud Hub connectors: an Azure connector for management and analysis of cloud infrastructure performance, and a NeDi connector for easier integration of network discovery and monitoring tools.

“The trend in monitoring to more and more data — coupled with service state increasingly derived from analysis rather than determined at the source — has pushed tool vendors to develop new methods,” commented Thomas Stocking, vice president of product strategy at GroundWork Open Source, Inc. “In addition to providing ways to quickly identify faults and crucial changes, GroundWork Monitor 7.2.1 enables vastly increased data gathering, greater data diversity, and enhanced persistence and analysis capabilities.”

Key Enhancements to Groundwork Monitor 7.2.1

- Azure connector to allow organizations monitor and maintain cloud and hybrid-cloud systems in Microsoft’s™ Azure cloud.

- NeDi connector to easily integrate powerful network discovery tools supplied with GroundWork Monitor, and enhanced in this version.

- Updated InfluxDB to leverage time series data to identify performance trends. Update includes more data sources.

- Enhanced Grafana to quickly create and organize dashboards, graphically display metrics, show data points from multiple sources on a single graph, and compare metrics from different time periods.

GroundWork 7.2.1 is a standalone, on premise software package that is installed on organizations’ infrastructure to monitor everything connected to the IT environment, whether it’s physical, virtual, cloud or hybrid infrastructures. IT administrators can start with monitoring a specific application and expand across systems, and have the confidence that GroundWork’s APIs will support the open source tools they can select.
