BixServer is a vital component responsible for collecting server data.
BixServer is agent-less and can monitor servers and services that do not have agents installed, such as HTTP, applications, and databases. It is an advanced data gathering platform with automatic configuration for optimum performance and lowest impact on resources and network bandwidth. BixAgent features local storage which allows monitoring and data collection to continue, even if network connectivity is not available.
Through data sources and plug-ins, BixAgent can collect data from any server on any platform and store directly into a number of supported SQL Servers, allowing open data exchange to integrate with different environments and software systems, especially in IT. Notifications, alerts, and actions can be used to manage devices by monitoring the many aspects of availability, performance, and resource usage.
The software supports built-in actions such as executing scripts locally or remotely, or taking any number of built-in actions. BixServer's Operational Data Store allows the gathering and storage of more than 30GB per day. SQL Support is included for MySQL, PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, and Firebird, and all data schemas and data storage in BixData is in XML format that can easily be integrated into 3rd party applications or accessed directly from the underlying SQL database servers.
The advanced reporting capabilities of BixServer include table reports, graphs, and HTML reports. The software has many predefined reports and graphs that provide useful information about servers, applications, and even hardware inventory, allowing reports to provide information on specific servers, services, and also averages for groups of servers.
The software requires at least 30MB of RAM and 40MB of disk space to run. Overall, BixServer is an essential software for monitoring and managing servers, collecting and storing data, and generating reports.
