HostMonitor is a network monitor program. You can create a list of jobs
and tests in advance on a "set and forget" basis. Among the many checks
it can do, it can monitor any TCP service, ping a host, retrieve an
URL, check the available disk space, check integrity of your files and
web site, test your SQL servers, check SMTP/POP/IMAP/DNS/LDAP servers,
test Windows NT services, monitor CPU Usage, and much
more. HostMonitor checks network servers at regular intervals and
takes pre-defined actions if a device does not respond. It can provide
a visual and sound warning, send an E-mail message to a mailbox, pager
or mobile phone, execute external programs, restart NT services, reboot
local or remote computers, dial-up to the network, etc. All these
actions allow you to respond to a problem before your users start to
complain. HostMonitor can generate test result log files and
reports. HostMonitor provides different log file detail levels and log
file formats and can be configured to suit your needs. The highly
flexible Report Manager allows you to create and customize reports to
your liking in a variety of ways. Also Advanced Host Monitor package
includes a Log Analyzer which can illustrate separate information for
each tested host. The Log Analyzer can collect statistical information
and show graphs of all request times for specific time periods for all
or individual servers. Using the statistical information, an
administrator can analyze request times for specific servers over a
period of time. HostMonitor provides system administrators with the
benefits of a powerful network monitor at an affordable price.
HostMonitor is a network administrator's vigilant assistant.
Administrative overhead is reduced as the administrator doesn't need to
check servers manually. Network administrator downtime is reduced and
user satisfaction improved by the prompt response to server
failures. It is surprisingly easy to install, administer and use.
HostMonitor is a system tray program and can be launched at startup or
started as a Win32 Interactive Service. It is a "must-have" utility for
anyone supporting a range of IT equipment.
