Get Started with AVEVA System Monitor

AVEVA System Monitor is an application that monitors and manages the performance and availability of the AVEVA System Platform system including the core software, engineered software application(s), and the related hardware and network infrastructure. It detects logs, and reports on system performance issues/errors/trends and monitors key system attributes, and can generate alerts when those attributes exceed defined 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 is comprised of the following components:

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

  System Monitor Manager 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 Install Manager: The System Monitor Agent Install Manager manages the installation of the System Monitor Agent and supports commands sent to the Agent via the Manager.

  The System Monitor Agent Install Manager is installed on every machine that will be monitored.

• 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.

  The System Monitor Agent is installed by the System Monitor Agent Install Manager on the System Monitor Manager machine as well as every machine being monitored.
