Abstract

Remote Performance Monitoring Systems (RPMS) are a critical method and resource for Managed Service Providers and IT departments in businesses. These systems, however, are either non-existent or out of date in many small and medium-sized businesses. However, these systems are either non-existent or are out of date in small and medium-sized businesses. They are also difficult to read with many unresolved bugs. In addition, similar solutions on the market offer limited functionality and do not meet the stakeholder’s requirements. The aim of this paper is to design a remote performance monitoring system for providing performance bandwidth history reports for small and medium-sized businesses. This paper also provides a review of related work and similar solutions used for remote performance monitoring. The system is developed with a DevExtreme design using a Golang API that reads from an InfluxDB database. The new system provides the user with a modern, readable user interface as well as a modern, readable chart with the metrics selected by the user. The new system is recommended for small and medium-sized businesses since it enables users to extend its functionality and customise several modules (e.g., dynamically altering the order and size of graphs displayed).
