Automated server and network monitoring made easy!
GFI Network Server Monitor is a network monitoring software solution that enables administrators to scan the network for failures or irregularities automatically. With GFI Network Server Monitor, you can identify issues and fix unexpected conditions before your users (or managers) report them to you!
Maximize network and server uptime
GFI Network Server Monitor maximizes network availability by monitoring all aspects of your Windows and Linux servers, workstations and devices (routers, etc). When a failure is detected, GFI's network monitor can alert you by email, pager or SMS, as well as taking corrective action by, for example, rebooting the machine, restarting the service or running a script.
Performs a real test, rather than deducing status from events generated by the service!
GFI Network Server Monitor actually tests the status of a service, rather than deducing a service status from generated events (as other products do), which is the only real way to ensure server uptime! GFI Network Server Monitor is easy to set up and use, and is competitively priced.
Built-in rules for several network servers and services
GFI Network Server Monitor built-in monitoring rules include: Exchange Server 2000/2003, MS SQL, Oracle and ODBC databases, CPU usage, FTP & HTTP Servers Group Membership, Active Directory & NTDS, Disk Drive health, Disk Space, Event Log (with content checking), File Existence (with content checking), TCP, ICMP/Ping, SMTP & POP3 Mail servers, Printers, Processes, Services, UNIX Shell Scripts (RSH), SNMP & Terminal Server.
Custom monitor functions can also be created in VBscript and ADSI and WMI can also be leveraged, allowing you to monitor virtually anything!
