Health and welfare monitoring of network server operations

A system for web analytics comprising:

• a plurality of network servers, the servers comprising or otherwise in communication with a web analytics program configured to summarize server data in one or more periodic reports;
• a monitoring program configured to:
• receive server data from at least one network server within an entity;
• determine server-specific metrics associated with each of the plurality of network servers based at least partially on the received server data, wherein server-specific metrics relate to free disk space and table size of each of the plurality of servers;
• summarize at least a portion of the received server data, wherein summarizing the at least a portion of the received server data includes creating one or more periodic reports;
• communicate with the web analytics program to monitor a status of the server-specific metrics relating to free disk space and table size for each of the plurality of network servers;
• monitor the status of the server-specific metrics relating to free disk space and table size for each of the plurality of servers;
• compare identified server-specific metric values for each of the plurality of network servers to a predetermined value;
• identify one or more critical events identified from the comparison of server-specific metric values, wherein the one or more critical events identify a problem or cautionary issue with a table size of one or more of the plurality of servers or a drop in free disk space that reaches a cautionary level for one or more of the plurality of network servers;
• present a first status indicator signifying a healthy status of one or more of the plurality of network servers on an acceptable comparison of the server-specific metric values for the one or more of the plurality of network servers;
• present a second status indicator signifying that at least one server-specific metric monitored being outside of an acceptable value based at least partially on the comparison, wherein the at least one server-specific metric monitored being outside of the acceptable value indicates one or more critical events where precautionary action may be necessary;
• wherein the second status indicator is a cautionary status indicator signifying that precautionary action may be necessary to prevent a critical event;
• wherein the critical event comprises an inability of the web analytics program to retrieve at least a portion of the server data in order to summarize the data in the one or more periodic reports within a predetermined time period;
• and
• adjust, automatically, one or more parameters to remedy one or more of the identified one or more critical events.

A computer program product for monitoring a web analytics program, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer-readable instructions, the instructions comprising instructions for:

• receiving server data from at least one network server within an entity, wherein server data includes server-specific metrics relating to free disk space and table size of each of the plurality of servers;
• summarizing, based on received data from a web analytics program associated with the at least one network server, at least a portion of the received server data, wherein summarizing the at least a portion of the received server data includes creating one or more periodic reports;
• monitoring server-specific metrics via communication with the at least one network server and/or the web analytics program, wherein monitor the status of the server-specific metrics further includes monitoring server-specific metrics relating to free disk space and table size for each of the plurality of servers;
• comparing identified server-specific metric values for each of the plurality of network servers to a predetermined value;
• identifying one or more critical events identified from the comparison of server-specific metric values, wherein the one or more critical events identify a problem or cautionary issue with a table size of one or more of the plurality of servers or a drop in free disk space that reaches a cautionary level for one or more of the plurality of network servers;
• presenting a first status indicator signifying a healthy status of one or more of the plurality of network servers based on an acceptable the comparison of the server-specific metric values for the one or more of the plurality of network servers;
• presenting a second status indicator signifying that at least one server-specific metric monitored being outside of an acceptable value based at least partially on the comparison, wherein the at least one server-specific metric monitored being outside of the acceptable value indicates one or more critical events where precautionary action may be necessary;
• wherein the second status indicator is a cautionary status indicator signifying that precautionary action may be necessary to prevent a critical event;
• wherein the critical event comprises an inability of the web analytics program to retrieve at least a portion of the server data in order to summarize the data in the one or more periodic reports within a predetermined time period;
• and
• adjusting, automatically, one or more parameters to remedy one or more of the identified one or more critical events.
