Architecture

  • The Redpeaks cockpit application relies on two software components:
    • The Cockpit for visualization and configuration
    • Collectors for collecting data from target systems.

Cockpit

  • The cockpit provides the main application features:
    • A Web user interface with dashboards, allowing to visualize and control monitored infrastructure.
    • A REST API to consume collector's data and allowing remote control of the application.
    • Databases to store configuration, metrics, reports, metadata and all generated information.
    • A central control bus to manage remote collectors.
  • The central instance can be hosted on premise or SAAS.
  • It does not need a network access to monitored systems (But remote collectors do).

Collectors

  • Collectors are Redpeaks agents that will locally collect and analyse information from the devices.
  • Those collectors must be able to connect to target systems.
  • Then consolidated information is sent back to the central instance.
  • Collectors are a very efficient way of monitoring systems within isolated environments without exposing them.
