SNMP-based, multitenant monitoring of net control systems - system-independent and comprehensive  Availability requirements and complexity of net control systems increase demands on their administration and care. empuron supervise is the system for the automated monitoring and network management of one or several power network control systems. The information is held in a data warehouse and is individually addressable and individually evaluable. Trends become recognizable and the evaluation of warnings make allows preventive measures.
The support in the error analysis is carried out by: - Alerting on occurrence of errors or warnings, graphically or by Email/SMS
- Selection guidance to the detailed information
- Purposeful supply of the relevant logfile entries of different sources for the error analysis
- Monitoring and logging of different plant parameters (e.g. “State of update of software and data bases”, hardware information, system messages of the logs, etc.)
- Logical combination of error- and system events
- Representation of the information in diagrams
- Ad-hoc or preset filtering of information
System structure The partial components of supervise are the basis for efficiency and system flexibility:
empuron Application server (based on JBoss AS) and portal visualization: Representation of the system information at arbitrary working environments by Intranet/Internet
empuron SNMP manager: Treatment of arbitrary SNMP information
DATA Warehouse (ORACLE or MySQL): Archiving and parameterization of systems SNMP agents SNMP agents represent the system interface to empuron supervise. They identify themselves with the help of a SNMP “MIB”, which contains all information details, for which the agent was developed. The most important SNMP agents at a glance: - Siemens/Franken data SNMP agents for the software system SINAUT Spectrum
- ORACLE SNMP agents (monitoring of data base parameters)
- Microsoft SNMP agents (monitoring of Windows servers)
- SNMP agents for Routers and Switches
- SNMP agents for USV, printer and other hardware units.
Advantages Error situations are recognized promptly and automatically (information by exception). - Reduction of costs for consecutive faults
- Reduction of the costs for regular examination
- Purposeful application of the qualified personnel
- Improvement of the system availability
As central monitoring system empuron supervise collects the run time- and message data in a uniform structure. The data are available without special know-how of the individual components. - Saving of training periods
- Central data preparation reduces analysis efforts
- Savings during assortment and dispatching of information at specialist departments/companies
The archive system facilitates the historical analysis of the system performance: - Reduction of support hours (specialist departments and manufacturers)
- Recurring system statuses can be detected faster
- Trends become recognizable and the system availability becomes transparent
