Monitor Everything with BindPlane for New Relic – Now with Logs

The Enterprise Monitoring Challenge

When setting up an enterprise monitoring solution, the process of identifying and configuring which data sources you need to monitor is challenging and time consuming.

The most time consuming and challenging problems include:

1. What’s the best way to extract data from each source?
2. Should I use an open source solution?
3. How flexible is the configuration of the collection solution?
4. How do I deploy the collection solution to each source I want to monitor?
5. How do I manage updates to the collection solution once it’s deployed?
6. Will there be sufficient support for the solution I choose?

These challenges can prolong the implementation of an enterprise monitoring solution, which can lead to costly system downtime.
