Intelligent Monitoring

Outages are treated like any other risk, and when there is a possibility of a problem the business needs to act to reduce their market exposure. We can help you improve your existing monitoring solution to make it more predictive and offer increased business value.

To succeed, you need to identify problems as they happen, act on them early and take preventative measures both within your infrastructure and also in the business arena (e.g. widening spreads or closing down positions). Citihub is stretching the boundaries of real-time monitoring using a combination of best of breed products and data outputs including:

• Application and OS monitoring agents
• Microburst detection and network monitoring
• Market data protocol decoders and correlation
• FIX protocol decoders and correlation
• Software based algorithms to compare direct feeds
• SOR and OMS log files

These data sources are integrated into a Complex Event Processing (CEP) engine to search for and correlate event patterns. Historical data is stored in a high-speed database to facilitate relationship back-testing. This provides an intelligent monitoring capability which allows the business to take precautions based on early warning signals and prior to a full outage occurring. Outputs from the CEP engine are used to build dashboards that combine business and operational views. Forensics and root-cause analysis can be done in a matter of minutes, rather than days.
