Best Practice Analysis with Runecast
Part of the capabilities series we are writing about the Runecast platform. This one focuses on Best Practice Analysis.
IT Operations Management (ITOM) Made Simple
End reactive IT Operations Management and put the power of AI at your fingertips. Analyze against a multitude of best practices and apply the results immediately.
Automate IT Operations Management
Modernize and make your IT Ops cost-effective. Runecast continuously monitors potential vulnerabilities and misconfigurations with AI-powered knowledge parsing and a patented rules engine – to check for documented KB articles, vulnerabilities, compliance with best practices, and security guidelines and give you specific steps for immediate remediation.
Simplify configuration drift management
Save hours of searching and looking through events and logs trying to find and manage inevitable drift from your ideal configuration. Runecast Configuration Vault maps out your configuration and enables you to compare changes between points in time. Choose a historical reference point and any object or configuration scan, then turn that into a baseline to instantly see all the differences between it and other assets.
Apply best practices to prevent risks
Prevent common repeatable mistakes by scanning your infrastructure and checking against best practices and security standards. Runecast’s platform offers Best Practices Analysis for your systems – on Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Kubernetes (K8s), VMware, Windows and Linux. Create custom profiles to build your own set of best practice profiles and track your progress toward them. Combining your custom profiles with Runecast’s configuration management and historical analysis system allows you to track changes and deviations – so you can prevent problems before they happen.

Detect issues with real-time log analysis
Quickly detect issues with the help of Runecast's automatic real-time log monitoring for specific patterns, as described in the VMware Knowledge Base. Scan your configurations and get Best Practice fit-gap analysis reports and Security Hardening checks. Runecast provides you with custom resolution guides and remediation scripts tailored specifically for your environment. The platform acts as a syslog server with built-in vCenter log insights analysis to filter entries based on important predicates: FailedTo, SCSI_command, NMP, Unableto, Error, and shell.
Seamlessly simulate upgrades to test hardware compatibility
Keep your VMware infrastructure secure, high-performing, and updated by automating hardware security checks when planning upgrades. Runecast automates the process of matching your hardware against the latest VMware Hardware Compatibility List (HCL). Simulate ESXi upgrades to save up to 90% of the time spent manually matching your environment with the HCL, to make the right adjustments before starting your upgrades.
Save hours of searching and looking through events and logs trying to find and manage inevitable drift from your ideal configuration. Runecast Configuration Vault maps out your configuration and enables you to compare changes between points in time. Choose a historical reference point and any object or configuration scan, then turn that into a baseline to instantly see all the differences between it and other assets.
Runecast gives me peace of mind knowing that the servers are better optimized, configured, patched and secured, which mitigates downtime and saves a lot of man hours.

Reducing Operational Complexity
An overview of challenges with virtualization for all business sizes (e.g. interdependence, volume of Knowledge Base articles, reactive fault resolution) as well as the simplest means to address such challenges proactively and effectively, via automated scanning, log monitoring/analysis and security compliance checks.
Check out this informative white paper by top technical author Alastair Cooke!
- Without being able to proactively identify potential issues, resolution is inherently reactive and outages are just a matter of when
IT admins cannot physically do what an automated tool can do – e.g. read and memorize +30K KB articles, Best Practices, etc., to find all possible misconfigurations and security gaps - A simple solution exists and typically provides ROI from the very first scan
