SaaS and ALEPIZ: monitoring and managing infrastructure

I am a system administrator, for over 20 years I have been managing and monitoring critical infrastructure across the country. The services that I administer are provided on a SaaS (Software as a Service) model. This is my first publication, I decided to share my best practices in this area, maybe it will be useful to someone.

There are many management and monitoring software available. The problem with most of these solutions is that if the infrastructure is not built according to the standards laid down in the software product, it is either difficult or impossible to use it.

On the other hand, monitoring and managing even small organizations is not easy without automation. The article will focus on a software solution that I have developed taking into account the experience of operating the existing software on the market.





I want to note that this article is not an advertisement. I am writing it as a private person and do not represent any organization. The solution is available along with the source code and is freely available. You can use it completely free of charge at your own discretion.
