Hello All,

I would like to know build vs. buy, tool like reveille or custom build or existing server monitoring from third party vendor which helps to monitor servers.

appreciate different views, keeping cost part aside for now.

  • I cant speak to reveille, but building a custom monitoring app for just Documentum doesn't make sense. Most of my customers have monitoring software (e.g. SolarWinds) that can be configure to monitor Documentum services.

  • I can draw below from what I have learnt
    1) Windows based based monitoring to trigger emails if services are stopped, windows has the capability to send email on service abrupt end. This has to be configured.
    2) If your company/client is having SAP, SAP has a monitoring tool which can be configured for non SAP systems also. That can be leveraged for monitoring Documentum systems
    3) Check with your organisation wide monitoring tools, if any such as dynatrace etc.., Choose any tool that has good UI to access the alerts and other stuff on the server and consider below for monitoring.
    a) service level monitoring
    b) URL level monitoring
    c) Drive level Monitoring
    so, your tool should satisfy all the above.

  • Thank you MYDCTM and DCTM_Guru

  • Some resources on Reveille

    I would echo and agree with @MYDCTM comments.

    In addition I have configured the ELK stack (https://www.elastic.co/elk-stack) to work with a Documentum install.
