Systrack 3.0 from Lakeside software (http://www.lakesidesoftware.com/
<http://www.lakesidesoftware.com/> ) will provide you with the Metaframe
statistics you are looking for.  Systrack is an extremely useful tool for
gathering server and farm metrics and provides outstanding reporting
capabilities far beyond what can be obtained from CRM.  One very useful tool
is the Black Box Data Recorder.  This tool continually tracks tons of system
and process metrics and provides you with the ability to replay server
events as they happened.  For example, you can watch a server's activity up
to a point of failure and view precisely what was happening at the failure
point.  Also, Systrack provides change auditing and will track any changes
to system config or software changes.  It allows you to baseline a
configuration and compare that configuration to all other servers in your
farm.  Check it out.  You'll be impressed.  Logcaster can't touch Systrack.
You can contact Carrie Peiffer at Carrie@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

for you.
 
Good luck,

Subject: [THIN] Alternative to Resource Manager for XPa servers


Hello there,
 
Im looking at comparing upgrading to XPe from XPa or looking at third party
software as an alternative for around 
10 servers.
 
I am looking at Rippletech logcaster at the moment and was wondering if
anyone was actually using any other thirdparty software to do the same
thing. Feedback would be appreciated.
 
Regards
