Bytemon 2.1.1.4

Bytemon 2.1.1.4 is released as a simple yet effective and professional network and resource performance monitoring application, which is intended to give administrators real-time information about the condition of networks and servers

Bytemon can be used to monitor resource availability and usage as well as performance data of all kinds, such as network performance parameters (bandwidth usage, protocols usage), system performance parameters (CPU and memory usage), the availability of network resources, and the network latency of access to remote devices and services.

Bytemon lets you monitor the availability, current status and usage of key resources in your network:

• Traffic Monitoring: Bandwidth and Usage Monitoring of your networking equipment (hubs, routers, switches)
• Network Protocol Usage Analysis: Packet filtering allows you to analyze network traffic by protocols, source/destination IP etc.
• Performance Monitoring for servers and any networked devices (network printers, network storage)
• Availability and Latency Monitoring of remote devices and servers like mail servers or web servers

Major Features:

1. Network & Resource Monitoring -Bytemon Benefits & Features
   • Monitoring the availability and usage of network and computing resources plays an important role in most businesses and organizations. To be able to manage networks components and computing resources proactively it is vital to have a comprehensive monitoring system in place.
   • The Bytemon Windows service runs on one or more Windows machines in your network 24 hours a day and collects information on network and resource usage. The collected information is made available either as raw data or in the form of highly customizable charts.
2. Data Acquisition Methods
   • Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Bytemon is able to collect data from all kinds of SNMP-enabled devices, supporting SNMP versions 1, 2 and 3. SNMP data encompasses network traffic, processor loads, ambient temperature, disk space and the like. When monitoring network interfaces, Bytemon is capable of dealing with shifting interface indexes.
   • Network Packet Capture and Filtering (WinPcap) Packet capturing can be used to count network packets passing one or more of the physical network interfaces of a computer with Bytemon installed. This allows detailed analysis of network traffic: ie. which hosts were sending or receiving packets of some particular network protocol. Bytemon uses the industry-standard WinPcap libary.
   • Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) Bytemon supports querying WMI to gather operating system performance data. Though some of the data available using WMI is available using SNMP as well, WMI queries can be sampled at shorter intervals and are more suited to provide real-time information.
   • Custom data sources Using Bytemon's command line interface, users can input numeric data from arbitrary sources into Bytemon's data base, and make it available for charting and reporting.

Requirements: 

• Network connection
• Windows 2000/XP or later
• 500 MHz processor or faster
• 256 MB RAM (1 GB and more recommended)
• 10 MB of disk space for installation
• 0.1 MB of disk space per data source
