We thought that the world right now does not need another open source tool that gathers and transports system metrics (there are already so many: https://collectd.org/related.shtml). What the world is missing though is an integrated open source APM solution that provides in-depth application monitoring and analytics combined with the base metrics of the hardware. inspectIT does provide the application monitoring. For the system and OS part, we rely on collectd. collectd (https://collectd.org/) is a very stable and proven technology to gather system information. 

What we provide is to link all of it together. We allow the collectd agent (we just call it HostAgent) to write its data into our monitoring database. The data can then be used as basis for everything else. We are currently building top-notch anomaly detection on top of the data within our monitoring database. So guess what, your system metric information will be part of it! You can show the system information next to your application information, next to the business/usecase information. In a single dashboard. A single pane of glass.

This is what we want to achieve!

Configurations

In the subpages we describe how you can setup the whole pipeline to feed the system information into inspectIT.
