Help Introduction internal servers On-Premise Poller
On-Premise Poller
On-Premise Poller, our lightweight agent, helps monitor your internal network and resources behind a firewall or virtual private network (VPN). It can monitor data center components and intranet applications like blogs, payroll applications, ERP systems, network devices, and database servers. You can install On-Premise Poller in various branch offices within a distributed organization, and monitor the user experience from each of these branch offices.
On-Premise Poller Architecture
Once you've installed On-Premise Poller in your network, it will collect data according to the set poll interval and send that information back to the Site24x7 data collector. You can then run reports on this collected data.
Apart from data collection, On-Premise Poller can also notify you about downtime within one minute after a monitored resource in your network goes down.
Below, you'll find a list of VMware infrastructure components, internet services, and network devices that On-Premise Poller can monitor. You can also monitor your remote work infrastructure with Site24x7.
VMware infrastructure:
- VMware resource pools
- Clusters
Nutanix infrastructure:
Network devices (only in the 64-bit version of On-Premise Poller):
- Routers
- Switches
- Firewalls
- Load balancers
- Wireless devices
- WAN accelerators
- Printers
- UPSs
- Storage devices
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)
Monitor the quality of VoIP calls using various metrics that determine the quality of the calls over a call path. Assess the performance from a source to a destination and vice versa to obtain a complete picture of performance over the designated IPs.
Server Monitoring - Agentless
The On-Premise Poller can be used to monitor your servers via SNMP. You'll need to ensure that every server has enabled the SNMP protocol for it to communicate with Site24x7 On-Premise Poller. The Poller then sends the data to Site24x7. Learn more about the metrics that come with agentless server monitoring.

Internet services:
- Websites
- Port (custom protocol)
- Web transaction monitors
- Ping monitors
- SSL/TLS certificates
- Web transactions (using a real browser)*
- POP servers
- FTP servers
- SOAP web services
- REST API
