Comprehensive Evaluation of Monitoring Tools for Optimized System Performance.

This white paper thoroughly assesses a range of monitoring tools, emphasizing their capabilities and ease of adoption. It evaluates features such as customizability, scalability, and performance, and includes key aspects like infrastructure, application monitoring, and cloud monitoring.

The white paper offers a comparative analysis of several tools, categorizing them based on their suitability for different stages of software product development. Tools like Cacti, Nagios, Zabbix, and Icinga are discussed for application and server monitoring, while Riemann and Prometheus are highlighted for heterogeneous systems monitoring. Additionally, the report reviews paid solutions like Datadog and New Relic, assessing their ease of deployment and community support.

Recommendations are provided based on deployment complexity and system architecture. For early-stage products with simple needs, Icinga is recommended for its ease of setup and basic feature support. For more complex environments that utilize microservices or high-performance computing, Riemann is suggested due to its advanced customizability and scalability.
