Tailor Results to your Business Needs
Glassbeam’s easy-to-understand, web-based dashboards provide visibility into how customers are configuring and using specific products, as well as how those products are performing in the field. Multi-dimensional log files contain many different types of information, which can be of value to different functions within an organization.
- System identification — such as serial number(s) for elements in the system is essential to matching the source of log data with a specific customer.
- Configuration information — such as software version, model number, hardware configuration, manufacturer information or file system configuration. Changes in software version or subsystem configuration can have a huge impact on performance. Knowing which customers have specific versions can help establish patterns in key metrics, such as performance problems or part failures.
- Statistical data — such as response times, throughput, disk l/O, and network errors are core pieces of data that provide insight into customers’ product usage and performance. System messages such as events and alerts, frequency of events, and levels of severity or urgency, provide real-time notice regarding matters that require attention. A collective knowledge base can contribute to trend analysis, forecasting and the design of next-generation products.
Benefit from a Business-Centric Approach
A rich set of unfiltered machine data provides a broad context for extracting meaningful insights for practical business purposes.
- Customer support — Operational data on issues such as product performance, faults, errors and other anomalies can help support personnel identify the sources of problems more quickly or in some cases even spot changes that need to be made to avert problems.
- Product engineering and product management — Engineers and marketers traditionally rely on subjective means of assessing customer feedback and requests. With properly designed analysis of machine data, product engineers and marketers can base business decisions on hard facts from large numbers of users versus qualitative guesses.
- Sales and professional services — Machine data provides up-to-the-minute information on key metrics, such as amount of disk space used, number of site licenses, and software version, to alert salespeople to opportunities for new revenue. Similarly, professional services staff can turn the results of machine data analysis into a sell-through service.
- Senior management — Executives who want an understanding of how their products are performing with customers can view operational dashboards that reflect comprehensive, real-time, unfiltered facts.
