For more information on SAM, visit: http://www.solarwinds.com/server-application-monitor/server-application-monitoring.aspx Watch this webcast: http://www.solarwinds.com/resources/webcasts/sneak-peek-at-server-application-monitor.html You asked for more functionality and we have delivered. Which is why we are even more excited to give you a sneak peak at what you will see in SolarWinds Application Performance Monitor’s next release. First, we are changing the name of this product to Server & Application Monitor (SAM for short). The reason for this change is that this product not only monitors applications, but also monitors server health and performance. SAM allows you to monitor all of the processes running on your server in real-time including CPU, Memory, Virtual Memory, and Disk I/O. This allows you to quickly diagnose server performance issues by proving real-time troubleshooting information within the SAM web console.
