Internet Server Monitor is a server monitoring tool that enables system administrators to monitor servers and the network applications they host for both failures and recoveries. Minimize downtime by configuring the software to notify the on call system administrator when a server fails.
When a failure or recovery is detected, Internet Server Monitor can alert you remotely by email, pager or SMS, as well as on your desktop via system tray icon status and popup, sound, or message box. Failures and recoveries can optionally be logged to any Windows Event Log or your syslog server. Lastly, a process can be started.
Internet Server Monitor not only checks the availability of server applications but in most cases includes functionality to test the application performance. For example, an HTTP or Web monitor can be created to test the availability of the server and verify the returned URL or document contains the desired content.
New in version 2008 is the ability to monitor Windows Services. Using WMI Internet Server Monitor polls the status of Windows Services running on remote computers. Depending on the service state, the monitor can optionally start or stop the service.
Supports the following monitors: HTTP/S, SSL Certificate and Domain Expiration, SMTP, POP3, IMAP, FTP, ICMP (Ping), SQL Server, MySQL, ODBC, Windows Services, TCP Ports, DNS, NNTP, and NTP.
When a failure or recovery is detected, Internet Server Monitor can alert you remotely via email, pager or SMS, as well as on your desktop via system tray icon status and popup, sound, or message box. Failures and recoveries can optionally be logged to any Windows Event Log or your syslog server. Lastly, a process can be started.
The Windows Service automatically outputs a monitor index, logical group summary reports, and monitor detail reports to your web server. The HTML output is fully customizable by way of easy to use HTML template files.
Supports command-line invocation.
