GoGrid Integration

Tap In has implemented its management server as a GoGrid Server Image. This server image has all capabilities of the Tap In management server, as well as an interface to the GoGrid API. This interface allows the Tap In management server to gather status information from servers running on the GoGrid grid. By using Tap In agents, detailed server metrics can be gathered. The management server can then generate views and reports based on these metrics. Events can be viewed on Tap In's QuickView console or web application. The web application also provides long term performance trend reports for any monitored metrics.

You can also use the Tap In platform for additional monitoring metrics. Active checks can be executed from the Tap In server to other appliances. Examples of active checks include ping, http, TCP ports, database queries and web services calls. Tap In agents can be extended to monitor distributed applications and forwarding events to the Tap In management server. Tap In's Control Plan function can be used to automate operational processes, such as trouble ticketing, configuration, notifications, etc.

Refer to the Tap In technical wiki for additional details on this integration.
