Get Started with System Monitor

AVEVA System Monitor is an application that monitors and manages the performance and availability of the AVEVA System Platform system.

These include:

• the core software

• engineered software applications(s)

• the related hardware and network infrastructure

The System Monitor also performs the following functions:

• detects logs

• reports system performance issues and trends

• monitors key attributes

• generates alerts when attributes exceed operational limits

When an attribute is out of operational limits, the support team (internal, systems integrator, and/or AVEVA Knowledge and Support Center) can be notified, and can respond proactively to prevent production interruption or downtime. The goal is to check that your solutions' performance meets and/or exceeds expectations.

AVEVA System Monitor is included in the common installer for AVEVA System Platform versions 2017 U3 and later.

Note: AVEVA System Monitor documentation is now available on AVEVA Documentation Portal.

AVEVA System Monitor includes the following components:

• System Monitor Manager: The System Monitor Manager is the central component responsible for receiving and processing all information and conditions received from the machines being monitored, sending out email alerts, and storing the information in a local database.

  It allows you to connect to a browser-based user interface to:

  • Configure AVEVA System Monitor

  • View the machines being monitored

  • Manage rules

  • View the health status of the production system

  • Run reports

• System Monitor Agent: The System Monitor Agent maintains the manifest of user-defined rules, handles monitoring of the machine to detect unhealthy conditions, and securely communicates with the System Monitor Manager to report those conditions.
