Monitoring infrastructure as a service: FAQ
What is IaaS?
Cloud computing involves the provision of IT resources via the Internet. Depending on what’s in the cloud, a distinction is made between:
- SaaS (Software as a Service): cloud-based execution of software applications.
- PaaS (Platform as a Service): a cloud-based platform for the developers of applications.
- IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service): the provision of all the IT resources required for a data center in the cloud.
An IaaS infrastructure in the cloud has all the components of an on-premises IT infrastructure, including network devices (routers, switches, etc.), databases, backup and storage systems, virtual machines, and more.
What are the benefits of IaaS?
More and more small to medium-sized companies still in the take-off stages (or with fluctuating needs for networks, servers, or storage systems) are doing away with physical data centers and expensive hardware. Instead, they’re opting for infrastructures in the cloud. There’s a good reason for this: IaaS solutions are extremely cost-efficient.
You only use (and pay for) the resources you need. What’s more, the service provider handles the maintenance of the cloud-based infrastructure. This can save lots of money – not to mention time and stress.
Nevertheless, you’ll still be responsible for installing and maintaining the software. But this can also be simplified with IaaS monitoring.
What are IaaS monitoring tools?
IaaS monitoring tools are software applications that monitor your IT infrastructure in the cloud. If you opt for IaaS, a comprehensive and all-in-one monitoring tool like PRTG will let you conveniently monitor your cloud infrastructure – without compromising on performance, flexibility, or features.
Which IT components can I monitor?
For on-premises systems, you can monitor all the regular health and performance indicators. With cloud-based systems, however, the respective service provider may restrict access to some of the values you wish to monitor.
For each system, draw up a list of values to be monitored. This list will depend on your requirements (and expectations) with regard to the performance of the various infrastructure components.
Here are some of the values that can be measured with infrastructure monitoring tools:
- CPU load
- Number of connection requests
- Speed of execution of transactions
- Use of hard disk space
- Network latency
- Network traffic
- And much more
What is a sensor in PRTG?
In PRTG, “sensors” are the basic monitoring elements. One sensor usually monitors one measured value in your network, for example the traffic of a switch port, the CPU load of a server, or the free space on a disk drive.
On average, you need about 5-10 sensors per device or one sensor per switch port.
