IT infrastructure monitoring: Leaner, stronger, more intelligent, and a huge progression
IT infrastructure as a technology has leapfrogged in 2025 and Site24x7 is no exception. CTOs, SREs, sysadmins, and other IT personnel wanted more from server monitoring and observability tools—and we stepped up. We listened to you, the industry leaders in your respective spaces, and re-envisioned our product platforms.
The result? A single agent for your entire IT infrastructure, AI-at-the-core strategy, granular controls, monitoring at microscopic levels, and enhancements to our existing feature portfolio.
Here's an overview of some of the changes we made and how they enable you to improve observability.
Full-Stack agent: One agent for one purpose
We thought outside the conventional server monitoring box. You wanted hands-free deployment of agents across your IT infrastructure, i.e., servers, VMs, cloud VMs, and applications. We listened. We launched our smartest agent yet: the Full-Stack agent. This single agent is all you need to monitor your:
- Servers (on-premises, virtual servers, cloud VMs and servers across clouds like Azure, AWS, and more)
- CPU, memory, disk, network bandwidth
- File, directory, event log/Syslog, and port monitoring
- Service/process status and resource consumption
- Patch and backup tracking
- Files, directories, ports, and firewalls
- Native applications, like IIS, Active Directory (AD), and Microsoft 365
- Applications built on technologies like Java, .Net, Ruby, and Python
- Logs (including event logs, syslogs, and application logs)
And much more.
In short, the Full-Stack agent handles both the deployment and monitoring overhead so that your teams can focus more on scaling up.
But, what if you need a layered approach?
Our agents are lightweight. But still, what if you want to monitor just the uptime of thin clients, like kiosks? We reengineered our agents and made the Full-Stack agent customizable. A simple update in the command line is all it takes to determine the components in your IT infrastructure to be monitored. Yes, it's that easy.
The more metrics you see, the merrier
We are always on the hunt to monitor more performance indicators for your servers. We added quite a few metrics for monitoring, like disk latency, disk reads and writes, and network throughput.
Another highly requested feature we introduced in 2025 is user-level performance monitoring. With this data, you can monitor performance metrics for every user. Thousands of enterprises have already started to benefit from this feature by identifying session-based resource choke points.
Enhancements aimed at enhancing your IT observability
We added more reports in addition to making the existing reports richer with more data. For example, the top processes in the server report has cut down the time it takes for IT teams to find resource-hungry processes across their data centers. Our resource checks, which monitor servers' critical resources, like ports, files, and firewalls, are now more feature-loaded than ever. We introduced quite a few enhancements in our resource checks and server inventory report—key components in maintaining server resources integrity.
Container orchestration optimized: Kubernetes observability
Our etcd monitoring release brought users improved operational awareness by providing enhanced cluster health indicators, like latency and storage trends. In terms of networking, which is of paramount importance in containerization tech, our CoreDNS monitoring gives you actionable insights on query performance and error rates. Accelerate your troubleshooting activities with kube-proxy monitoring.
With the Dependency Tree view, you can visualize workload dependencies.
Control plane resilience was further reinforced with Controller Manager monitoring, preventing scheduling and reconciliation failures.
Operational transparency advanced through the Kubernetes Change Tracker, which highlights configuration updates and root causes of unexpected behavior.
Teams can now proactively detect stuck namespaces, avoid downtime with PVC capacity monitoring, and make smarter scaling decisions using Kubernetes capacity planning.
Together, these features deliver a more reliable and efficient monitoring experience.
More robust backup monitoring for zero surprises
In response to strong user demand, we’ve rolled out new backup monitoring capabilities you might find valuable.
Stay ahead with timely alerts and centralized visibility into successful and warning backup sessions across your Veeam Backup for Azure and Enterprise Manager environments, all in one dashboard.
Achieve unified backup monitoring with Commvault Command Center monitoring across both on-premises and cloud workloads through a centralized view of backup policies, job performance, snapshots, and server health, helping ensure consistent and reliable data protection.
What can you expect from us in 2026?
Our feature pipeline is filled with enhancements and new features, designed with your requirements at the forefront. Here is a little pre-release view for you.
Our Full-Stack agent is en route to becoming more feature-loaded. At the forefront, we are moving towards an AI-first approach where the RCAs we provide are about to be powered with AI-backed analysis. Equal importance has been allocated to improving our real-time monitoring capabilities. We are working on monitoring more performance indicators for your servers. In 2026, you will have granular access over how the Full-Stack agent behaves (hint: get insights into the exact performance indicators to monitor, when agent upgrades should happen, and more promising features).
The journey continues with ambitious plans to expand Kubernetes observability at an even more granular level. In 2026, monitoring will evolve to include intelligent management actions that enable faster remediation, reducing mean time to recovery. Deeper insights into core control plane components like kubelet and scheduler will provide stronger visibility into cluster operations. Cost optimization will become a central focus, with new efficiency-driven capabilities designed to balance resource spend against performance.
Networking will gain sharper clarity through advanced Kubernetes network monitoring, offering improved traffic visibility across complex environments. Finally, certificate monitoring will be introduced to safeguard against outages caused by expired or misconfigured certificates.
Our roadmap features the Mid-server as a key enabler for secure agent-to-cloud communication in restricted networks, while enhanced On-Premise Poller latency monitoring improves data freshness and real-time visibility. We are expanding coverage across modern virtualization platforms with VxRail monitoring, vCenter session tracking for proactive issue detection, and Nutanix Prism Central insights for hyper-converged environments. To ensure resilience at every layer, we are strengthening backup monitoring with Zerto and enhancing visibility into network virtualization through NSX monitoring.
Bringing it all together
2025 has been innovative and we are on course to deliver an even more transformative 2026.
IT monitoring is now more about unlocking agility, ensuring reliability, and driving smarter decisions. Site24x7's server monitoring suite is positioned exactly in that direction.
The shift toward simplified, strengthened, and sophisticated monitoring means you can now anticipate issues before they arise, optimize resources with precision, and align technology with business outcomes more seamlessly than ever. Thank you for your trust in Site24x7 as your observability partner.
