What is Linux Systems Group?

A Linux Systems Group is a group of multiple Linux-based computers that are organized and managed together in a networked environment as individual systems. Administrators prefer to group the Linux systems the multi-user environments, enterprises, and cloud-based infrastructures. to achieve the following:

• Centralized and simplified user authentication, management, automation and security controls.

• Improved security by enforcing policies, access control, and software restrictions among all the systems from a central location.

• Easier software and resource management

  Efficient system resource sharing among all applications and services on the systems.

• Easy addition or removal of systems from a network.

• High availability, fault tolerance, better disaster recovery and load balancing to ensure system reliability in case of failures.

Why Monitor Linux Systems Group?

In environments where multiple Linux systems are grouped by region, department, or other criteria, administrators prefer monitoring them as a group rather than individual systems. Monitoring individual systems manually is time-consuming, error-prone, and inefficient. To address this, eG Enterprise offers a specialized monitoring model for Linux systems groups. This model provides centralized monitoring and allows administrators to install a lightweight eG VM agent on each Linux system. This agent proactively captures health and availability, resource utilization, and network bottlenecks, enabling administrators to take prompt remedial actions. Additionally, it helps administrators quickly analyze the overall performance of each system within the group.
