Tool for end-to-end application monitoring

Consol has now developed Sakuli, a new tool that efficiently supports IT managers in end-to-end application monitoring.

Sakuli combines the Sahi and Sikuli open-source monitoring tools into a new, universal testing framework, checking applications for both content and functional faults and errors.

Sakuli can be used, for example, to ensure the company-wide performance of enterprise applications such as Citrix. For this purpose, Sakuli logs in continuously at all locations and reports when the defined response times are exceeded.

In online stores, Sakuli acts as a "test shopper" and can check the order process from item search to shopping cart to payment for smooth functioning. Sakuli can also independently retrieve reports (e.g. from SAP BI) and monitor their execution time as well as the timeliness of their contents.
