Monitis Command-Line Tools Creates New Opportunities for IT
Monitis Inc., a leading provider of enterprise-class systems management software as a service, launches a command line interface for its premiere on-demand cloud-based monitoring platform. Command-line tools will make the job of IT systems administrators automated and productive.
San Jose, CA, July 23, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Utilizing the command line is the quickest, simplest, and most efficient way to get a job done. While many computer users have become dependent on graphics-based programs, the most skilled and accomplished computer users know that the command line (i.e., terminal) is still the best tool for getting the job done. With a few key tools and computer skills any computer user can take advantage of the benefits of using the command line with the help of Monitis. Monitis' Command Line Tools (Monitis CLT) running from the Linux/UNIX or Windows command line allows the user to easily run most Monitis tasks and functions through use of the Monitis API in place of a web interface.
A CLI or command-line interface gives users the ability to interact with a computer's operating system or software by typing simple commands. Experienced users, programmers, network and system administrators, and those in scientific fields most often make use of CLI, although those with visual impairments also find the type-based nature of CLI useful. CLI offers two distinct advantages to users overall: the ability to script a set of commands to perform tasks or executables and the ability to work faster with fewer commands than a GUI user.
Although Monitis CLT is still in an early version, there are still many services available to users, ranging from a list of monitoring locations, a list of added monitors, performance monitoring results, and top issues in overall tests. They can also build their own workflows using shell scripts. The output can be saved as a plain text file or as comma separated values (CSV). The files can be later opened in Excel or Word for performance or failure root cause analysis. In the future, Monitis will support all the functions available in the web version.
The benefits of Monitis command line tools are amazing. Whether you are an IT developer or administrator, you will enjoy a number of convenient features. Easy integration with their enterprise software, automated management duties, use of Excel or Word to review performance data, fast and convenient terminal interface access (especially convenient for Linux/Unix administrators), and the ability to make custom enhancements to Monitis functions, are all part of the experience. Users can use the web application interface or Monitis portal to download the tools. Monitis command line tools go beyond existing Monitis iGoogle widgets and Firefox plug-in. IT professionals will find innovative ways to manage data on how well the system is functioning.
