ProtoMon is a powerful yet easy-to-use network monitoring software. It will periodically check your websites, servers and computers and notify you, if any problems. So you will be able to take the actions to fix them, even before somebody noticed the failure.

The standard version of ProtoMon can monitor any number of computers and servers simultaneously. The product is provided as try-before-you-buy, which means that you can freely download and install it on your computer for a 30-day trial evaluation period.

Below are the short descriptions of the basic ProtoMon features. For more details, please refer the corresponding topics of this online help.

The Internet and network servers monitoring:

Website monitoring (HTTP, HTTPS). The program supports all types of queries, HTTP authentication, proxy servers with authorization, redirects, content checking, etc.
File server monitoring (FTP, FTPS, SFTP). The monitoring software can download a file from the file server and check its content using the boolean expressions filter.
Email server monitoring (SMTP, POP3, IMAP). ProtoMon supports the secure versions of all mail protocols. It can check the messages count and the folders list, and can send a test message on every monitor check.
Telnet monitor and SSH monitor. The software can execute a script on the remote computer, grab its output, and check it using the content filters with support of the boolean expressions.
Check the connection to any TCP server on any port.

Alerts and notifications:

When a monitor check fails, ProtoMon can do the following actions:

Show a pop-up notification window.
Play a sound.
Send a notification e-mail message.
Launch any external application, file or URL.

ProtoMon can identify the Internet connection failures, thus you can:

Get separate statistics for the servers downtime and the Internet connection problems.
Specify, whether you wish to trigger the alerts when Internet connection fails, or not.
Force ProtoMon to re-check the monitors more frequently, if the Internet is not available.

Statistics:

ProtoMon stores complete statistics for every monitor, thus you can:

Get your servers checking time, uptime, downtime, minimum and maximum response times, and other values for any period you wish.
See the graphics representation of statistics on the intuitive chart with the support of zooming and panning, and descriptive hints.

You can review the ProtoMon status and monitoring statistics remotely:

Enable the built-in web server to access ProtoMon from any computer using your favorite web browser.
You can configure ProtoMon to periodically save its interface as the static web pages to the specified folder. So you can use an external web server (Apache, IIS, or any other) to access this data.
