Architecture
- The Redpeaks cockpit application relies on two software components:
- The Cockpit for visualization and configuration
- Collectors for collecting data from target systems.
Cockpit
- The cockpit provides the main application features:
- A Web user interface with dashboards, allowing to visualize and control monitored infrastructure.
- A REST API to consume collector's data and allowing remote control of the application.
- Databases to store configuration, metrics, reports, metadata and all generated information.
- A central control bus to manage remote collectors.
- The central instance can be hosted on premise or SAAS.
- It does not need a network access to monitored systems (But remote collectors do).
Collectors
- Collectors are Redpeaks agents that will locally collect and analyse information from the devices.
- Those collectors must be able to connect to target systems.
- Then consolidated information is sent back to the central instance.
- Collectors are a very efficient way of monitoring systems within isolated environments without exposing them.
