Features

  • Boot the system in a synchronized and deterministic manner using a textual script
  • Start, stop, control, synchronize and monitor user space applications
  • Recover the system from crashes
  • Provide useful debug information
  • Generate system startup and dependency graph for complex systems

Threshold-based alerts flag problems early, so your team can act before users notice, not after.

Reactive troubleshooting usually means hearing about a problem from frustrated users, not your monitoring tool. PRTG sets threshold-based alerts across devices, servers and applications, notifying your team by email, SMS or push the moment a metric crosses a set limit. That means catching a failing disk or overloaded server before it becomes an outage and getting time back from firefighting. Start a free trial and set your first alerts today.

User Reviews

  • After incorporating PCD, the booting time of our system had reduced a great deal. Also, when the system seg-faults, I no longer struggle as much as there is a message about what process has crashed at the end of the segmentation fault that linux throws. This saves loads of debugging time.
