Technical Overview
LoriotPro Interface
LoriotPro Directory
A hierarchical directory containing all the IS resources
Container : Country, Organization, Organization Unit, NetworkPhysical entities (Host) workstation, server, printer, IP Phone, router, switch, firewall, HubTool and Plug-in attached to objects
Directory
LoriotPro Main ProcessesPolling Process
Monitors availability of hundreds of hosts in real timeDetects any status changes
Multi-thread process Asynchronous polling
Uses well known SNMP and ICMP protocol
Monitors TCP Server (Version 5)Linked to the event manager for alerting the administrator using different means; color signals on MAP, voice activated alarms, E-mail, SMS
LoriotPro Discover Process
IP topology Discover engineConducts a local or remote analysis of the
Information System structure and build its own directory of resources.
Uses first hand information (route table ARP table, ping.
Advanced options allow the administrator to fine tune the process.
TCP Servers discovery. Discovery strategy based on LUA Script.
Graphical MAP
InterNetwork map, Network map, MiniMap.Displays IS resources on MAPEach Directory object is plotted on the MapRouter, link, networkStatus changes (availability) are immediately
reported (icon color)
Graphical Maps
Active View
New concept of visual supervisionFreedom in IS resource representation
Active View
Performance monitoring
Linear and counter display of performance levels (counter, gauge) Trend analysis.
Fault and Event management
Real time collection of alarmsLoriotpro Events, SNMP trap and SYSLOG messages.
Real time storage of all incoming alarms in history files.Real time filtering of alarms and action triggering
Generating sound and voice alarms, displaying local and remote warning popup windows, launching programs and LUA scripts, sending E-mail, sending native SMS …

3 types of Plug-insDirectory Plug-inAttached to Directory Hosts, performs SNMP data
collection at regular intervals (polling time) (example : Interface monitor)
Direct Plug-inStarted from a Directory Host. Performs a single
task on administrator’s demand (generating a report for example)
Service Plug-inProvides global service to the plate form (example
WEB server, Email Scheduler, TraceRouteDiscover )
PLUG-IN
Spanning Tree Monitoring
Displays map of the spanning treeSends events on topology changes
