XorMon
What XorMon is
XorMon is an on-premises infrastructure monitoring platform covering servers, storage, SAN, LAN, backup, virtualization, databases, cloud, and containers. The maker says it natively monitors 142 enterprise technologies without middleware or custom connectors. Metrics from different infrastructure layers can be correlated on a single timeline, while automatic discovery maps dependencies into an interactive topology with real-time updates. Xbot accepts natural-language questions, retrieves real-time data, and highlights critical alerts. Predictive capacity analytics are intended to anticipate storage growth, CPU saturation, and backup-window overruns.
XorMon is released under GNU GPL v3 and its free edition has no registration or time limit, with per-device limits. The installation package includes a three-month trial license without restrictions. Linux, VMware OVA, Hyper-V, and Docker are listed as deployment options; Linux x86/ppc is the supported hosting platform. An Enterprise support contract unlocks Grafana integration, OpenTelemetry, the REST API, and Topology. That contract also includes next-business-day response on critical issues, priority bug fixing, and installation, upgrade, and migration assistance. The maker is headquartered in Babice, Czech Republic, and says XorMon was founded in 2013.
