Auto-discovery: Hyperic HQ has built-in support for more than 75 different common software products and technologies used in web applications. HQ will automatically discover, inventory, and track the performance metrics of your software resources across physical, virtual, and cloud-based infrastructure.

---

Monitor Everything: From performance metrics to log files, configuration changes to business metrics, HQ will keep track of it. Whatever your application does, whatever operating system it runs on, Hyperic HQ keeps you on top of application and infrastructure performance and health.

---

Alert on Anything: If you run your operation on a lean budget, discovering you've hit the memory or disk space wall can lead to the "who's got a credit card?" game. Not pretty. With Hyperic HQ, you'll get a heads up about impending resource outages, so you can be proactive instead of reactive.

---

Built-in Charting and Diagnostics: When problems do occur, you can use built-in charting and run live diagnostics on remote resources from HQ. You can run operating system diagnostics, JMX Mbean queries, and view the health of the HQ Server itself. Got your own tools? Plug them into HQ—the user interface and HQ itself are completely extensible.

---

Customize for a Custom Fit: As open source software, HQ is built to be extended and configured to fit your needs. Users can easily organize the dashboard, metric displays, and resources groups to match their role, interest, and responsibilities. HQ can also be extended to manage additional products through our Plugin Development Kit (PDK)—usually with only a few lines of XML. You can create application-specific views and build custom web services and automation scripts using the HQU Plugin Framework.
