LoriotPro Main ProcessesPolling Process

Monitors availability of hundreds of hosts in real timeDetects any status changes

Multi-thread process Asynchronous polling

Uses well known SNMP and ICMP protocol

Monitors TCP Server (Version 5)Linked to the event manager for alerting the administrator using different means; color signals on MAP, voice activated alarms, E-mail, SMS

LoriotPro Discover Process

IP topology Discover engineConducts a local or remote analysis of the

Information System structure and build its own directory of resources.

Uses first hand information (route table ARP table, ping.

Advanced options allow the administrator to fine tune the process.

TCP Servers discovery. Discovery strategy based on LUA Script.

Graphical MAP

InterNetwork map, Network map, MiniMap.Displays IS resources on MAPEach Directory object is plotted on the MapRouter, link, networkStatus changes (availability) are immediately

reported (icon color)

Graphical Maps

Active View

New concept of visual supervisionFreedom in IS resource representation

Active View

Performance monitoring

Linear and counter display of performance levels (counter, gauge) Trend analysis.
