BlackBerry Users are especially
critical because the typical end user tends to be a high-level executive.
Downtime is simply not acceptable. You want to know before they do if their
BlackBerry device has a problem.

Status of users on the Status Tab
Note:
All data is fictional - that's not his real PIN
For monitoring Blackberry Devices:
- VitalSigns sends a test message to
a BlackBerry Device on a schedule you set (typically every 5 minutes). Note
you need a dedicated device for this; grab an old one out of the drawer and
set it in the window somewhere with good coverage.
- VitalSigns looks for a “Delivery
Confirmation” from RIM; one for each unique subject line sent out.
- This technique Absolutely
Guarantees that BES is running; the
entire end-to-end process is tested. (Of course, a BES thread could still be
hung on a particular mailbox even if the test message flows through, but
that's a user problem not an overall system problem)
- Tracks and Graphs Delivery Time
