 ABSTRACT
A consistent methodology is essential for effective system monitoring. There
is a need of a software which provides heterogeneous and hybrid support,
quick time to value, and ease of installation, configuration and use. Since the
current system for monitoring is very tiresome, we need an automated
system which is agentless so that the methodology is more efficient and
accurate. Hence, there is a need for agentless monitoring of all the IT
infrastructures which is more efficient and time saving. HP Site Scope is an
agentless monitoring tool which ensures the availability and performance of
distributed IT infrastructures and applications including servers, operating
systems, network and Internet services, applications, and application
components.
HP Site Scope continually monitors more than 100 types of IT components
through a web-based architecture that is lightweight and highly customizable
and does not require that data collection agents be installed on your
production systems. With Site Scope, you acquire the real-time information
required to validate infrastructure operations & availability, stay ahead of
problems, and resolve bottlenecks before they become critical incidents.

customizable, and does not require that data collection agents be installed
on your production systems

5
 • With SiteScope, you acquire the real-time information required to validate
infrastructure operations & availability, stay ahead of problems, and
resolve bottlenecks before they become critical incidents

HP Unified Functional Testing

• HP Unified Functional Testing is automated testing software designed for

testing various software applications and environments.
• It performs functional and regression testing through a user interface such
as a native GUI or web interface. It works by identifying the objects in the
application user interface or a web page and performing desired operations
(such as mouse clicks or keyboard events); it can also capture object
properties like name or handler ID.
• HP Unified Functional Testing uses a VBScript scripting language to specify
the test procedure and to manipulate the objects and controls of the
application under test. To perform more sophisticated actions, users may
need to manipulate the underlying VBscript.
• Although HP Unified Functional Testing is usually used for "UI based"  test
case automation, it also can automate some "non-UI" based test cases,
such as file system operations, database testing or Web services testing.
VBscript

VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an Active Scripting language

developed by Microsoft that is modeled on Visual Basic. It is designed as a

6
"lightweight" language with a fast interpreter for use in a wide variety of
Microsoft environments. VBScript uses the Component object model to access
elements of the environment within which it is running.

OBJECTIVE

 The main objective of “AUTOMATION OF SITESCOPE” is to automate

HP Site Scope software to provide a deeper and more granular data
collection for advanced monitoring, alerting and reporting and also enable
Proactive IT with automated actions that can avoid performance problems
and downtime. As company changes (through growth, mergers, or
Acquisition) so will monitoring and management needs. That is where HP
SiteScope offers investment protection. So it can painlessly grow monitoring
needs as company grows .SiteScope flexible licensing model supports
reusing purchased capacity for different needs.So this HP Product is
automated to increase the execution speed and test coverage and make the
product more beneficial.

FEATURES OF PROJECT :-
FEATURES OF SITESCOPE
1. Central to all this is that is providing an easy, low-cost way to gain insight
into the performance and availability of their IT infrastructure and
applications.
2. It does so in a way that it allows them to be proactive, making use of base-
lines, notifications, and alerts. Because SiteScope can proactively identify
both performance and availability issues, the customer’s end users aren’t
being used as monitoring devices.
3. You have the ability to drive down meantime to repair and lower costs.
4. Because the less time you’re spending in the war room the more time you
have as an IT organization to be doing value add projects and activities.
Even a small outage may result in the cost of thousands to even millions. Time
not spent on troubleshooting or problem solving is valuable money saved

2.1 Need for SiteScope

11
Customers choose SiteScope for a myriad of reasons, but paramount to them are
the handful that is listed below:

SiteScope is used to monitor and manage their environments. From performance

testing scenarios, to application performance monitoring, to event management.
SiteScope always helps customers.

SiteScope provides different tools, such as templates, the Publish Template
Changes wizard, and automatic template deployment that enable you to develop
a standardized set of monitor types and configurations into a single structure.
SiteScope templates can be speedily deployed across the enterprise and quickly

12
updated to make sure that the monitoring infrastructure is compliant with the
standards set in the template.

2.2 SiteScope Characteristics

 Web-based, agent-less infrastructure monitoring solution

 Measures availability and performance of distributed IT infrastructures
 Lightweight, highly customizable, does not require data collection
agents
 Provides real-time dashboard, reports, and alerts

2.3 How SiteScope works

Basically, we have to install SiteScope on host machines with access to the

applications and operating systems that we want to monitor.

SiteScope logs into systems as a user from its central server, which can run on
Windows, UNIX, and Linux platforms, and collects key performance
measurements on a wide range of back- and front-end infrastructure components
including Web, application, database, and firewall servers. SiteScope uses
standard protocols to connect to remote systems.

SiteScope provides access to this data and metrics in a variety of ways, including a
Dashboard. SiteScope also provides alerting, whereby alerts are sent to notify
system/application administrators of failures, based on configured thresholds. It
also includes reporting capabilities, where real-time and historical analysis of

13
system and application performance can be completed. SiteScope also provides
Baselining whereby it adjusts thresholds based on “Normal” behavior and Alerts
on Abnormal behavior depending on those thresholds.

SiteScope addresses the synthetic user Web monitoring space, by giving smaller
customers a way to gauge their web site’s performance.

It is an entry-level, cost-effective solution for smaller companies. SiteScope helps

improve website performance by enabling customers to gauge their web users’
application experience.

2.4 SiteScope Monitoring Model

Groups

Monitors

Alerts

Reports

Fig 3: SiteScope Model

The SiteScope monitoring model consists of above four key objects: Groups,
Monitors, Alerts and Reports:

14
  Groups - A group is a container for monitoring assets. Groups may
contain subgroups and are used to organize monitors. Groups are
created prior to monitors.
 Monitors - A monitor checks the status of server components, key
application processes, log files, or network devices, to name a few. It
collects data based on selected metrics and displays a status of good,
warning, or error with respect to the configured thresholds.
 Alerts - An alert is an action triggered by a change in the status of a
monitored asset. Alerts notify required users when negative events or
failures occur. An alert can be sent to a variety of media including email,
pager, Short Message Service (SMS) messages, or an SNMP trap.
 Reports - A report is a historical representation of monitored data.
SiteScope offers a variety of reports from quick monitor reports to
detailed management reports. Reports enable you to track trends and
operational performance and to troubleshoot problems.

2.5 SiteScope Monitors

SiteScope Server monitors (for example, CPU, Disk Space, Memory,Service) can be
used to monitor server resources on the following platforms:

➤ Windows NT/2000/2003/2008/XP Pro/Vista/Windows 7 (x86 and Alpha, see

note below)

➤ Solaris (Sparc and x86), ➤ Linux, ➤ AIX, ➤ HP-UX (HP-UX 64-bit)

➤ Digital UNIX, ➤ SGI IRIX, ➤ SCO, ➤ FreeBSD

15
SiteScope monitor categories are grouped according to classes that indicates their
availability and category that reflect their function. When you select to add a new
monitor to a SiteScope agent, the list of available monitor types for that agent are
displayed both alphabetically and divided by category in the product interface.
The availability of the monitor category is dependent on the class of monitor.
This section describes the monitor classes and the category listing formats.

Standard Monitors

Standard monitor categories represent the monitor categories available with a

general SiteScope license. These monitor categories include many of the general
purpose monitor categories.

• Application Monitors. Monitors in this category monitor third-party

applications. These monitors enable SiteScope to access and retrieve data
from the monitored applications.
• Database Monitors. Monitors in this category monitor different types of
database applications. There are monitors that access data from specific
database applications and generic monitors that can be configured to
monitor any database application.
• Generic Monitors. Monitors in this category monitor different types of
environment. These monitors can monitor networks, applications, and
databases depending on how they are configured.
• Media Monitors. Monitors in this category monitor applications that play
media files and stream data.

16
 • Network Monitors. Monitors in this category monitor network health and
availability.
• Server Monitors. Monitors in this category monitor server health and
availability.
• Virtualization and Cloud Monitors. Monitors in this category monitor
virtualized environments and cloud infrastructures.
• Web Transaction Monitors. Monitors in this category monitor web-based
applications.
Customizable Monitors

Custom monitors broaden the capabilities of regular SiteScope monitors for

tracking the availability and performance of your infrastructure systems and
applications. Using custom monitors, you can develop your own solutions for
environments that are not supported by predefined SiteScope monitors.

You can create your own monitor that collects data, and define a script that
processes the collected data and creates metrics. Each time the custom monitor
runs, it updates the metrics and returns a status for the metrics defined in the
script. Custom monitors can be published to the HP Live Network for sharing with
other SiteScope users.

Integration Monitors

This group of optional monitor types are used to integrate HP products with other
commonly used Enterprise Management systems and applications.

These monitor types require additional licensing and may only be available as part
of another HP product.

17
Solution Template Monitors

Solution template monitor types are a special class of monitors that enable new
monitoring capabilities for specific applications and environments. As part of a
solution template, these monitor types are deployed automatically together with
other, standard monitor types to provide a monitoring solution that incorporates
best practice configurations. These monitor types are controlled by option
licensing and can only be added by deploying the applicable solution template.

After they have been deployed, you can edit or delete them using the same steps
as with other monitor types.

The monitor types using solution templates include:

• Active Directory (with and without Global Catalog)

• HP Service Manager
• Microsoft Exchange
• Microsoft IIS Server
• Microsoft Lync Server
• Microsoft SQL Server
• Microsoft Windows Resources
• Oracle Database
• SAP Application Server
• Siebel Application/Gateway/Web Server (for UNIX and Windows)
• UNIX Resources
• VMware Host CPU/Memory/Network/State/Storage
• WebLogic Application Server

18
 • WebSphere Application Server

2.8 SiteScope Templates

• For massive deployment define your own template and deploy it on all a
group.
• Use Solution templates (additional license) for adding Key Performance
Indicators (KPIs) and outlines best practices as the best first steps to your
troubleshooting.
Benefits:

• Better Results via HP Recommended Best Practices.

• Faster Time to Value.
• Reduced Need for Domain Expertise.
• Lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)

 FUTURE WORK

In future, HP is planning to include Log Analyser which will check the event logs,
alert logs and other log files and instead of notifying the user, it will try to fix the
problem itself without the aid of the user. It is used in virtualized and cloud
environment which is amongst the emerging technologies. As organizations adopt
the latest innovations and technologies, and deploy their applications in the Cloud
or in a virtualized environment, they encounter a new set of complexities. Cloud
and Virtualization allow for dynamic spawning of new infrastructure to meet
increased demand. Trends like cloud-sourcing and Bring your own device (BYOD)
is provided by Site scope. So it will play immense role in future.

29
 CONCLUSION

We can conclude that Site Scope as a web-based infrastructure monitoring

solution is lightweight, highly customizable, and does not require that data
collection agents be installed on your production systems. With Site Scope,

30
 you acquire the real-time information required to validate infrastructure
operations & availability, stay ahead of problems and resolve bottlenecks
before they become critical incidents. SiteScope reports display information
about how the servers and applications you are monitoring have performed
over time. A great advantage of Sitescope is we don’t need to worry
about installing the agents or spending time on getting CRs to do
it.Three most

important things done by sitescope are –Data collection,Reporting and

Alerting.

We can also deploy templates using sitescope.
