SiteScope

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mercury Interactive's SiteScope is a monitoring tool focused on testing and tracking the response time and availability of software applications.

SiteScope tests a web page or a series of web pages using Synthetic monitoring. However it is not limited to web applications and can be used to monitor database servers (oracle, Microsoft, etc), unix servers, windows servers and many other types of hardware and software. It can export the collected data in real time to LoadRunner or it can be used in standalone mode. It collects CPU usage, memory availability, disk I/O and many other statistics.

SiteScope collects data from servers and Application software using agentless data collection.

Using the data collected, SiteScope can send alerts and creates reports showing the results.

SiteScope was originally written by Freshwater Software in 1996, a company acquired by Mercury in 2001.

Mercury Interactive was subsequently acquired by HP in 2006
