eDNA provides a non-invasive method of monitoring internal software processing, network performance, and hardware systems. It uses a combination of different compression methods to store large amounts of time-stamped data for high speed retrieval. The system can be configured to warn or alarm based on user-defined criteria and provides a variety of analytical client tools for dissecting the data.
eDNA Technology is used to monitor and record the performance of a system including:
- Processing Times/Rates
- Overall Health
- Connection conditions
- Interface-Specific Error monitoring
- Hardware (disk space, memory, CPU usage)
- Software Heartbeats
Statistics are monitored for each switch, piece of hardware, and software component:
- Network Connectivity
- Password Expiration
- Password Errors
- Application Availability
- Primary Availability
- Software Version Changes
- Call Processing Failures
- Authentication Monitoring
- SS7 Traffic
- IMSI, MIN, and NPANXX Homing
Individual thresholds can then be set with alarms sent out to dynamic paging lists or email lists to notify production support of any problems that need to be addressed or preventive maintenance steps that need to be taken.
The lightweight interface minimizes delays to the client and provides a performance gain of roughly three orders of magnitude over Oracle for these types of tasks.
