Monitors services and networking on Windows-based servers and workstations.
Computers rely on power to function, but that's just one of the many things that can cause a connection to be interrupted. Enter Servers Alive, a specialized application that helps network administrators monitor activity and get alerted to any events.
Adding servers to the list is a breeze - though it might take a little time to fill in all the details. You can organize servers into categories and sub-groups, and configure general connection details like IP address and host ID. You can even load servers from an existing HOSTS file.
But the real power lies in configuring alerts, logging, output, and built-in servers. You can choose to receive notifications via email, alpha paging, audio, MSN, XMPP, Twitter, SMPP, or executive alerts. All data grabbed from monitoring can be saved to file for later analysis, and there are a variety of options to enable debugging, syslog, statistical, interchange data, RRD tools, or uptime logging.
Servers Alive can monitor everything from simple pings to NT services and processes, disk space, existing databases, external COM ports, and even virtual machine status. And once you start the monitoring process, the application constantly keeps an eye on everything. You can use different edit tools to search for specific entries or items, import hosts, view entries, or remove them.
But perhaps the most impressive feature of Servers Alive is its team management capabilities. You can configure teams and individuals to take part in the monitoring process, ensuring that everyone is on the same page and that notifications get sent to the right people.
In conclusion, Servers Alive is a powerful administration tool that can be heavily configured to ensure that no server issue goes unnoticed. With the right details filled in and areas to monitor configured, the application alerts you and your team whenever something goes wrong, making it an essential tool for any network administrator.
