Solaris for ISPs Administration Guide

Sun Internet Services Monitor

The performance monitoring software allows an ISP to set up special client machines that emulate a subscriber's experience with the ISP services. The performance monitoring applet can be set to connect to any combination of Web, mail, news, and directory services servers and collect information on their performance from a subscriber's perspective. This data is collected on the monitoring host machine and viewable with a Web browser.

Sun Internet Services Monitor is a two-tier application. It is manageable through Sun Internet Administrator, but does not receive the benefits of single sign-on or administrator authentication. See "Managing Services with Sun Internet Administrator" for more information on the two-tier architecture.
