[Features]
The network monitoring system Extromatica Network Monitor helps administrators
to identify, eliminate and prevent malfunction of hardware and software before
end users encounter the problem.
Extromatica Network Monitor - powerful system for monitoring network devices,
workstations and servers. The main goal of its design is to achieve maximum
usability and functionality among the applications of its class.
Extromatica Network Monitor continuously checks workability of your servers and
availability of crucial services. If something is going wrong, application will
send notification and/or try to resolve the problem automatically applying
user-defined set of actions. All activity is recorded to the log and can be
analyzed later. It is possible to log selected events remotely using external
services like Syslog or Eventlog. This software can be run either as standalone
application or as Windows Service.
Actual information can be exported to HTML at user request or by the schedule.
Last allows easily integrate Extromatica Network Monitor with any Web server to
access monitoring reports remotely. A number of handy wizards included into the
application to manage thousands of checks in the large environments.
[Distinctive features of the program]
** Check grouping
In case of huge number of checks, they
can be separated into named groups for easy access and maintain. User
interface supports unlimited number of nested groups. For the one's
convenience, group caption shows the total number of checks inside the
group as well as number of success and failed ones. Moreover, group icon
changes its color if there is though one failed check in the group.
Checks can be copied/moved between groups using both clipboard and
drag-and-drop technology.
** Real-time filter groups
Sometimes, the static grouping is not
enough. For example, if it is required to look at all success checks at a
time (all running checks, all checks of specified type etc). We introduced
special filter groups for this purpose. These groups can be created by using
wide range of criteria. The word 'real-time' means the group will show only
checks meeting specified condition right now. So, this feature can give the
true dynamic picture of the checking process from different point of views.
** Informational panel
This is smart and easy-to-use information
center of the system. Three tab panels contain application log window,
window with statistic of currently selected group and informational property
window of currently selected check. All information or any part of it can be
easily exported into the clipboard in the human-readable format.
Double-click on a check in the statistic
window gives access to the check information window. Particularly, this
window contains log messages of the check, filtered out from the application
log. Log window function 'Locate check' can be used to quickly find and show
the check, source of the log message.
** On-screen-display (OSD) event window
Important messages can be configured to be
shown in the lightweight pop-up window near the application system tray
icon. Right mouse click allows setup OSD window and double-click opens main
application window. In case of event window being not touched, it
automatically disappears. Being turned off, it can be enabled back in the
options.
** Pop-up event dialog
In case the functionality of OSD event
window is not enough, the special pop-up dialog can be shown on important
events of fail and restore at the center of screen. The check information
(including history and statistics) can be invoked directly from this dialog.
Function 'Locate check' can be used to open main application window and
automatically find signaled check item as well. Like the OSD event window,
the behavior of this pop-up can be changed in-place and it can automatically
close itself if does not detect user interaction.
