It's a breeze to add a host and discover services on that host automatically, provided the services are only one directory deep in the server hierarchy. Services can be added manually, but the autodiscovery feature makes the addition of numerous services simple. After the services have been added, Sift begins logging access to each service and subordinate operation, making the data available for viewing in the dashboard, reports and alert generation.
The dashboard provides an almost real-time display of server and service metrics from a multitude of views. Although the physical layout of the dashboard is not configurable, you can add multiple individual panels, each configured with a metric-appropriate graphical chart.
I added graphs detailing
server performance, access counts per service and response times per service.
