Secure Architecture
TL;DR
Because the Lumics Collector is a lightweight Linux instance it is less vunerable to cyberattacks.
Lumics supports several forms of MFA including SMS, email, and authenticator apps.
Lumics supports Entra ID (Azure Active Directory) login.
Lumics is SOC 2 Type II compliant.
SaaS Architecture
The Lumics Collector is a virtual machine or a MiniPC that is a hardened Linux installation with a minimalist deployment. It’s a very basic but efficient setup that combined with secure communications protocols to the Lumics Cloud, makes it almost impervious to cyberattacks or malware.
The lightweight Collector requires only 4x CPU, 8GB of RAM, 40GB of disk space, and runs on Rocky Linux (64 bit).
The Collector is nearly maintenance-free, updating and patching itself on command from the Lumics Cloud. This saves our customers time, money, and the headaches of babysitting on-prem monitoring hardware devices, OS and application licenses, and worrying about security holes.
You can deploy as many Collectors as you like, or need, to best suit your environment, since Lumics doesn’t charge for Collectors. In a single enterprise with multiple physical locations, you may want to have a Collector at each location (to track latency between locations, for example) but could also potentially run your entire monitoring system off a single Collector.
For MSPs or multi-tenant architectures, you will have at least one Collector per client but can gather and monitor data in a single dashboard and have alerts across different tenants combined into a single UI and notification workflow.
"Lumics is so fast!"
"Lumics has been a game changing product."
"The data is very actionable."
"Rare among current monitoring tools."
"Engineers can be engineers and not monitoring tool administrators"
"We can monitor thousands of devices with one tool…it just works!"
"The granular data Lumics provides is a game changer!"
"It runs super quickly."
"Lumics provides all the insights we need to make quick operational decisions."
MFA
WMI monitoring in Lumics allows you to combine all the important Windows data from your various devices together with other network and infrastructure data from your system into a single pane of glass on Lumics’ custom dashboards.
Monitor various critical CPU variables, stay on top of memory usage and performance, keep track of fluctuations in bandwidth and which devices or services are consuming the largest portions of it, measure latency between devices, see disk space utilization for planning and troubleshooting purposes, and keep an eye on your critical windows services.
Give access to custom dashboards and reports to different members of your team, with just the information they need to stay in the loop and assist with any problems when they arise.
Entra ID (Azure AD)
Lumics also supports secure portal access using Entra ID (formerly known as Azure Active Directory). Microsoft Entra ID is Microsoft’s cloud-based identity and access management service. It provides capabilities like authentication (password, MFA, passwordless), authorization, single sign-on (SSO), conditional access policies, role-based access control, and integration with both cloud (such as Lumics) and on-premises apps.
