Proactive System Monitoring & Alerts
APOS Insight provides proactive system monitoring and alerts for SAP BusinessObjects.
Insight uses statistics and functionality tests specific to SAP BusinessObjects to verify that services are not only running, but running according to specifications.
Insight lets you extract metadata about your system's operational activities for offline analysis, letting you analyze historical data to anticipate future needs.

Blanket Instance Monitoring
APOS Insight provides blanket instance monitoring for SAP BusinessObjects.
You can use Insight to develop a detailed configuration strategy for a blanket monitoring and notification system. In such a strategy, someone in IT is notified of instance failure on a report-by report basis, but an administrator also receives a digest of failed instances.
The administrator can scan through the digest to see what kinds of error messages are being generated, decide whether there are system issues or human error, and develop a strategy to deal with them.
