How to select a standard Web application monitoring tool

What is the most reliable Web application monitoring program? What criteria should we use for comparison?

First, consider whether you want to solve one or more of the following problems:

◆ Monitor Web server resources (CPU/memory utilization, storage, etc)

◆ Monitor the availability and responsiveness of Web Applications

◆ Detect exceptions, such as security scans, potential hackers, or DoS Attacks

◆ Webpage loading and click rate tracking for marketing purposes

A dedicated tool is available for each purpose, but it does not seem that a single tool has yet to execute all of the above functions. Try Nagios, CloudFlare, or Google analysis.

Before continuing to select a Web application monitoring tool, consider the following:

◆ What do users (such as administrative management and marketing) ultimately want this tool to do?

◆ What is the expected detail level and report type?

◆ Does your Web application platform run common Web applications such as IIS or Apache? Do you have custom code? Is the application customized and cannot access the source code? In this case, the application is difficult to monitor.

◆ Can you make a budget for commercial products or open-source and free applications (such as Google?

Finally, consult with the expected supplier. Tell them your situation and expectations and see if there are any matching products. Don't be afraid to ask sharp questions. You can refer to some companies that are ideal for your work.
