Unified Hybrid Monitoring with L3C Monitor and Azure Monitor

Unified Hybrid Monitoring with L3C Monitor and Azure Monitor
L3C Monitor

 

Overview

An enterprise organization operating a complex, heterogeneous IT environment requires a unified monitoring solution capable of covering both legacy and modern platforms. Such infrastructure includes Windows, Linux, IBM AIX, IBM i (iSeries), and Oracle-based systems, many of which support mission-critical business processes.

By deploying L3C Monitor and integrating it with Azure Monitor, the organization achieves a centralized visibility across on-premises and cloud environments, proactive alerting, and improved operational control—without installing agents or modifying existing systems.

Challenge

The customer faces several operational and technical challenges:

  • A highly diverse IT landscape spanning modern and legacy platforms
  • Limited monitoring options for legacy systems such as IBM AIX and IBM i
  • Multiple, disconnected monitoring tools with no centralized view
  • Strict change management and security policies preventing agent deployment
  • The need to integrate on-prem monitoring data into a cloud-native operations model based on Azure

As a result, the organization experiences reduced visibility, slower incident response, and increased operational risk.

Solution

The organization can select the L3C Monitor as a unified, agentless monitoring platform designed for hybrid and legacy enterprise environments.

Key elements of the solution include:

  • Agentless monitoring for Windows, Linux, IBM AIX, IBM i (iSeries), and Oracle
  • Metric collection using native system interfaces and protocols
  • No software installation on monitored systems, minimizing:
    • operational risk
    • security exposure
    • change management effort
  • Seamless integration with Azure Monitor, enabling:
    • Centralized dashboards within Azure
    • Unified alerting and escalation workflows
    • Correlation of on-premises and cloud telemetry

This approach allows the organization to modernize its monitoring strategy without impacting production workloads or violating platform support constraints.

Results

Following the implementation of L3C Monitor with Azure Monitor integration, the customer achieves:

  • A single pane of glass across hybrid, cloud, and legacy environments
  • Faster detection of performance and availability issues
  • Reduced mean time to resolution (MTTR) through proactive monitoring
  • Full visibility into platforms previously difficult to monitor
  • Improved alignment between on-prem infrastructure operations and Azure-based governance

The solution also establishes a scalable foundation for future modernization and cloud migration initiatives.

Why L3C Monitor

  • Unified monitoring across Windows, Linux, AIX, IBM i, and Oracle including legacy Windows, Linux and Oracle versions
  • Agentless architecture with no impact on production systems
  • Purpose-built for enterprise and legacy workloads
