Challenge	G2 Tech Group, a company focused on helping small and growing SaaS businesses leverage cloud services with managed DevOps, needed a comprehensive monitoring solution that could consolidate the tools needed to monitor hybrid and cloud environments. They were looking for a way to put all of their customers’ key data in a single platform, preventing the need to jump from CloudWatch for AWS resources to other tools for networking gear, storage appliances, databases, and other virtualization platforms. G2 Tech Group was also looking for a solution that would deploy quickly and automatically and require less configuration and ongoing maintenance than the open source options they were using. The open source platform offered some functionality but left little opportunity for their customers to access key info on their own and required much more ongoing development resources. Read More

Solution	G2 Tech Group deployed LogicMonitor as its infrastructure performance monitoring platform. This allowed the company to consolidate its monitoring toolkit, bringing its customers’ on-prem, hybrid, and cloud infrastructures into a single access point. With LogicMonitor, G2 Tech Group has been able to deliver previously unavailable metrics on AWS resources, including EC2s, RDS, ELBs, and ElastiCache. LogicMonitor pulls metrics from AWS using three different methods: the CloudWatch API, the AWS SDK, and via the LogicMonitor Collector installed within the AWS environment. These multiple approaches come together in one dashboard for a comprehensive, aerial view of a client’s entire AWS environment. LogicMonitor takes advantage of the AWS SDK to provide in-depth, custom metrics on G2 Tech Group’s EC2s, including memory usage, database performance, and the ability to drill into applications like Tomcat, Apache, PostgreSQL, and even custom Java apps.
