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.
The remote computers system information monitoring:
This feature requires
ProtoMonAgent
to be installed on the remote computer. ProtoMonAgent is a tiny and FREE
Windows service that allows ProtoMon to read the following information:
-
CPU. Number of processors; current load; average and maximum load since
the last query.
-
Memory. Total and available amount of physical (RAM) and
virtual (PageFile) memory.
-
Disks. Existence; type; GUID; total and free disk space.
-
Operation system. Version and build numbers; installed service pack.
-
Files. Size; creation date and time.
-

-
Registry keys values.
-
Services statuses.

topic for more information regarding this feature.
Other monitors:
-
ProtoMon can launch any console application or batch script,
grab its output, and check it using the powerful boolean
expression filters.
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.
