Server and Core Application Management

Server and Core Application Management

Overview

The physical and virtual server management project is designed to provide comprehensive monitoring and control of multi-environment infrastructures, including Linux and Windows operating systems, as well as various databases such as PostgreSQL, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, and MySQL. The system is architected using a distributed SNMP Proxy model deployed across multiple geographically dispersed sites, enabling the collection of telemetry and performance metrics from all servers and network devices. Data is streamed in real-time to an Apache Kafka-based event streaming platform and subsequently ingested into the central Server Management and Application Performance Monitoring (APM) system for processing and analytics.

The solution delivers end-to-end visibility into hardware resource utilization, OS performance, and database operations, enabling proactive identification and resolution of anomalies. Leveraging Kafka’s event-driven architecture and microservices-based processing pipelines, the system offers high throughput and low latency, ensuring real-time monitoring and alerting capabilities. Additionally, the platform supports automated fault isolation, root cause analysis (RCA), and predictive analytics for performance optimization. The user interface features an advanced single-pane-of-glass dashboard, providing operators with a unified view of system health, service dependencies, and intelligent alarm correlation. Security is enforced through multi-layer encryption, secure data transmission, and role-based access control (RBAC), adhering to enterprise-grade security standards.
