Leveraging the power of OMEGAMON, Candle Command Center solutions provide

Monitoring Agents for Microsoft Windows NT allow users to manage their

The new OMEGAMON Monitoring Agents for Oracle and Sybase effectively
monitor the health and performance of two of the most popular distributed
database management systems. Candle's Alert Adapter for NetView for AIX
enables users to monitor TCP/IP and SNA from one workstation, and to build

facilities let users filter and concentrate messages and performance
information from a wide variety of systems.

enabling users to manage across platforms, applications, and resources
anywhere in the enterprise. This solution provides a centralized view of
all system and application events, which gives users complete control in

users build alert rules that cross multiple platforms for true end-to-end
application management.
