Hi all, I am trying to answer this question posed by my management, What features does NPM add to SAM for a server only monitoring environment. Thanks!!!
NPM is the base software and SAM runs on top of it, so NPM provides all of the polling for SNMP/WMI/Agent monitoring as well as alerting, reporting, etc. SAM provides additional features such as monitoring services, synthetic transactions, websites, SSL certs etc. Some of the metrics NPM collects would be disk, cpu, memory, audit information, etc.
Thanks... that's just what I needed!!!
