Any guidance for consolidating monitoring tools? Advice on how to perform a feasibility analysis? We are using SolarWinds for our network and infrastructure monitoring quite extensively for around 9 years. During this time, a lot of customizations have been applied which makes the system quite complicated. Our Cloud Team suggested that we should transition our SolarWinds system to Science Logic. I think that consolidating is the right thing to do, but Solarwinds is a complex system monitoring about 50% of our critical systems.

Answer

- Start by identifying your current tool landscape and assess tool overlaps. Determine where you have redundancies and where consolidation can be achieved.
- Consider the input and suggestions from your Cloud Team, who are recommending a transition from your existing tool.
- Gather insights and requirements from stakeholders involved in extensive tool usage through surveys or studies.
- If the Cloud Team's recommendation focuses on leveraging cloud capabilities, prioritize the feasibility analysis on transitioning from your existing tools, including the suggested options, or exploring alternative tools available in the market with enhanced capabilities.
