What is Spotlight on Unix

Spotlight is powerful diagnostic and monitoring tool for Unix operating systems. Its unique user interface provides you with an intuitive, visual representation of the activity on your host machine. Graphical flows illustrate the rate at which data is moving between system components. Icons display the value of key statistics and measurements (metrics).

The power of Spotlight lies in its ability to provide visual and audible warnings if the performance metrics exceed acceptable thresholds. The components and dataflows change color to show you the source of the problem.

A range of visual graphs and tabular grids provide you with detailed information about your Unix hosts. This information can be viewed on the screen or printed.

You can set Spotlight to warn you when a threshold is reached. You may set a number of thresholds so that warning messages are displayed well before the traffic levels into or out of a host become critical. Spotlight uses a number of different techniques to warn you when a Unix host is exceeding a threshold.

When Spotlight detects a condition that it considers is a potential problem, it not only informs you about it, but also advises you what you could look at to diagnose the problem further, and suggests corrective actions.

Features of Spotlight on Unix

Some of the main features and benefits of Spotlight on Unix are that it:

  • Provides a visual representation of process flows within Unix, allowing you to observe actual host activity in real time.

  • Visually identifies bottlenecks and provides extensive drilldown capabilities.

  • Displays the details of problem areas, including CPUs, disks, processes, and system calls statistics for rapid problem identification.

  • Provides visual and audible warnings to alert you when performance metrics exceed acceptable thresholds.

  • Provides detailed information about specific components through the use of drilldowns, therefore allowing you to pin point the source of problems.

  • Assesses the normal rate of process flows via a calibration process, and sets the display speed of the visual indicators accordingly.

  • Is easy to install.
