The MTD System
Monitoring Solutions for Individual and Group Facilities
Monitoring Today’s Hi Tech Facilities
MTD Systems has created a set of Tools, Applications, andServices that monitors systems and extracts data from the complex products found in professional facilities. These complex systemsoften employ a wide variety of devices from many differentvendors. We unify the monitoring into a single system and a singlealerting process unlike any other network monitoring software.MTD Systems has created a rich tool set to gather SNMP data, OSlog data, application logs, and any other source of information, andcombine these into a homogeneous Monitoring and AlertingSystem. Users can go to a single user-customizable display to seeall critical elements of their facility presented in a clear understandable presentation.The MTD Systems family of products and services will greatlysimplify the task of understanding the status of your system.
MTDSentry
is the data-gathering engine at the facility. This product monitors many aspects of Microsoft Windows, Unix or SNMP devices without affecting the critical functionality of thesesystems. Trend data, graphs, alert conditions, operational statistics,log clips, and many other facets of the system can easily beobserved on most web browsers.
MTDNOC
is the application that combines the remoteMTDSentry sites into a common presentation. This is designed tofunction as a single Network Operations Center or as a Distributed Network Operations Center.
MTDCentral
is the central server site that manages the data,tracks the alerts, and creates the presentations. MTD Systemsmaintains this site for all your needs, but if desired, users can havea local central server site. These sites can be mirrored to as manysites as desired.
MTDConfig
is a system configuration tool that greatly simplifiesthe monitoring system design. It can combine your own imagesand MTD alerts into a display anyone can easily understand.

MTDSystems has created a powerful  set of monitoring application that unifies enterprise wide operationsinto a single homogeneous system.
 
 
MTDSentry
Complete Facility Monitoring 
MTDSentry can monitor your Facilities today
Brought about by many years of experience working on largecomplex systems, MTDSentry embodies the accumulatedknowledge of many Engineers into a set of powerful softwaremodules. These modules are designed to simplify the difficult tasksencountered in managing systems that must run 24 hours a day, 7days a week, 365 days a year.MTDSentry goes beyond individual islands of support andencompasses the complete facility. Status views can easily becreated that isolate subsystems, functional islands, or manufacturer specific areas to provide security and distributed support.Composite website views allow users to check the overall status of all sites at a glance.MTDSentry goes beyond simple SNMP monitoring. Although veryuseful, SNMP data is frequently unavailable, difficult to configure,or of limited use. That is why MTDSentry uses SNMP along withdata logs, event viewers, application status, contact closures,environmental parameters, communication channel data, serial portdata, and other available information to provide the most complete picture of the system.MTDSentry will generate a rich set of notifications based on thetype, location, and severity of troubles detected. Upper Management is notified with clear and informative messages whenan event occurs that will affect business. Service personnel arenotified with messages that are more technical and detailed.Every detected condition is weighted for severity, criticality of operation, and notification thresholds. This prevents false warningsand ensures that the notification system reports only those issuesthat are valid problems.MTDSentry also reports trends in activity. Many applicationssuffer from memory leaks, system resource attrition, and other types of error accumulation. Hard drives frequently indicateincreasing warnings, retries, and errors prior to complete drivefailures.
Streamline SupportReduce Operating CostsRemote MaintenanceImprove System ReliabilityIncrease System Uptime
MTDSentry is a powerful monitoring application that unifies multi-vendor  facilities into a single homogeneousview.Messages that would normallyrequire local operators and highly skilled Engineers to understand are gathered, simplified and presented tousers in a clear informative view.
 
MTDNOC
 De-Centralized Facility Monitoring 
MTDNOC combines the data collected from manyMTDSentry-monitored facilities and generates multi-site viewsof the activities, problems, or functions occurring at the variouslocations.MTDNOC can be configured to distribute the monitoring task todifferent groups of support personnel depending on type of failure, date/time, products, subsystems, or facility. Thisapproach can easily focus the right support at the problemquickly and effectively.Many different high-level views can be created for the same setof systems. In the case of satellite distribution, a moving weather map behind the alert locations creates a presentation that clearlyidentifies what environmental attributes will effect reception.These alert pages can be ‘drilled down’ to what ever level theuser desires, including to the product or application level.
MTDCentral
Central Monitoring Database
MTDCentral is the core of the Monitoring System.It manages the database of all log files, alerts, datatrend calculations, and monitored data. It alsomanages the alert notification user lists and thesending of alert notifications to the appropriateusers.This is the central database and alerting system for MTDSentry and MTDNOC. (MTDSystems usuallymanages this system for many sites.)It is a mirrored Linux system.
