Configuration Management (CM) Suite


Configuration management is a crucial process for establishing and maintaining consistency across all the modules of a given system. With the growing complexities of futuristic systems/products there is a strong need to break configuration management as a separate discipline and CM Suite helps achieve this.
 
CM Suite which when applied over an existing system provides visibility and control over the entire system as a whole. It provides a systematic and standard approach for monitoring system parameter changes hence revising maintainability, performance and reliability with reduced cost and reduced risk liabilities of the system.

      CM Suite helps query most crucial monitoring parameters out of the box. These include: 
  1.  Monitoring and changing database connection parameters viz. connection pool, driver configuration, etc.
  2. Monitoring and changing underlying system's business transaction parameters 
  3.  Monitoring and changing integration parameters of the underlying system with third party systems

The core features of CM Suite which ensures complete configuration management include:
  • ·         Identification:
This includes identifying system attributes for monitoring. The selected attributes are added to the CM Suite baseline. Internal code-generators help achieve this process.
  • ·         Control:
This process includes role-based control over various system attributes. With this process CM Suite provides a secure access to the underlying system parameters.
  • ·         Accounting:
This feature provides real-time monitoring to any given system attribute added to the baseline.
  • ·         Audits:
CM Suite's reporting mechanism generates regular reports for comprehensive monitoring of various system attributes over prolonged duration

CM Suite has been designed to help maintain the most complex systems with highest level of simplicity at lowest cost. It aims to ensure that underlying system operates uninterrupted and hence achieve higher levels of "mission readiness".

  1. The concept is interesting. Can you explain the technology used in this suite?

  2. Hi Wizkt,
    The framework is majorly based on monitoring APIs like JMX, JAMON, SNMP
