Opsview, a provider of open source IT monitoring software, has launched Opsview Mobile aimed at providing Opsview users with a convenient way to check the health of their on-premise, virtualised and cloud-based systems.

Opsview Mobile is initially available as a free application from Android market and can be used by users who upgrade to the newly released Opsview Community 3.13 IT monitoring tool.

Opsview product manager James Peel said with Opsview Mobile they aim to make it easier for IT managers and systems administrators to manage their business service and IT performance from anywhere in the world.

"Unlike many third-party mobile IT monitoring solutions, our app has been developed by the same team that has built our core platform which ensures tight integration with Opsview Community edition," Peel said.

The easy to use tool features dashboard view, ‘Traffic light’ notifications, intuitive ‘one-tap’ alert acknowledgement’ alert tracking, simple customization, and proactive alerting.

The new version includes new APIs and also brings a number of new automation enhancements and incremental improvements, resulting from users’ feedback.

"This is the first step on our mobile journey as we plan to bring more rich-features to the product in the future, so that organisations can truly have peace of mind that they have got a 24/7 IT monitoring capability," Peel said.
