WebWatchBot Website Monitoring Software 5.1.9

WebWatchBot Website Monitoring Software 5.1.9 provides you with a modern and versatile software which helps you easily implement website and web-based application monitoring for response time, downtime and error conditions.

View performance from the end user perspective and identify the impact of individual infrastructure components on response time. WebWatchBot uses an agent-less protocol, which means that nothing is installed on the server or network component being monitored.

With WebWatchBot 5.0 you can:

1. Quickly implement website monitoring for availability, response time, and error-free page loading
2. Monitor the end-to-end user experience though the multiple steps typically followed by a user as they complete a transaction (e.g. login to site, retrieve item from database, add to shopping cart, check out)
3. Implement server monitoring and database monitoring to understand the impact of individual infrastructure components on the overall response time of your website and web-based applications
4. View and publish powerful reports and charts showing your adherence to Service Level Agreements

Within minutes, WatchBot 5.0 can be installed and monitoring critical websites, servers and supporting infrastructure. WebWatchBot is an agent-less monitoring tool, which means that nothing is installed on the server or network component being monitored. WebWatchBot?s low overhead monitoring uses industry standard protocols and gives accurate insight into actual end-user experience.

Major Features:

1. Transactions

• WebWatchBot monitors the sequence of steps taken by an end user of the web application, website, and/or intranet, including logging into an application, selecting an account, viewing data, posting data to a form, using a shopping cart, and logging out.

  2.  Recorder

• The Recorder allows the administrator to easily create a complex but typical user transaction as a watch item. Using the Recorder, administrators simply follow the desired sequence of user steps and save this recording as a watch item to be replayed by WebWatchBot during the monitoring process.

  3.  HTTP/HTTPS

• WebWatchBot verifies that a specified URL is available and responding within a defined threshold. It can download the content from a specified URL and verify that specific content strings are found. Web form monitoring is accomplished by automatically submitting form data to simulate user actions. In addition, the software provides easy configuration of dynamic URLs, session ids, and other parameters.

  4.  Databases

• WebWatchBot monitors all major databases by connecting, executing a query, and searching results for specified text.

  5.  Servers

Ensuring that complex web applications and websites are running properly requires keeping a constant eye on a wide range of servers and support infrastructure, such as email servers, DNS servers, and routers. WebWatchBot provides a wealth of monitoring items, including:

• Ping: queries any IP device that allows pinging over TCP/IP
• Port: connects to a server via a URL or IP address and specified port number to verify availability and response time
• SMTP (Outgoing Email Servers): monitors outgoing email servers and user accounts for availability and performance
• POP3 (Incoming Email Servers): monitors incoming email servers and user accounts for availability and performance
• FTP: logs in and verifies that a file can be uploaded to, or downloaded from, an FTP server

  6.  System  

  System level monitors for physical and operating system components of the infrastructure  include:

• File: verifies the existence of a specified file and searches for content within the file
• Disk Usage: sets thresholds for disk usage and issues alerts when usage exceeds thresholds
• Performance Counters: monitors Windows performance counters to capture and analyze data provided by applications, services, and drivers; helps determine system bottlenecks and problem areas to better tune system and application performance
• Process (Windows): monitors Windows processes to capture and analyze key statistics, including CPU and memory usage and total number of threads; helps ensure processes are running as expected and using acceptable levels of CPU and memory resources
• Services (Windows): monitors Windows services to capture and analyze key statistics, including CPU and memory usage and total number of threads; helps ensure services are running as expected and using acceptable levels of CPU and memory resources
• Event Log: scans and filters system messages recorded by most Windows applications, including but not limited to information, warning, and error messages that can have an impact on the server and its services and applications; ensures mission-critical applications are operating normally and eases the task of manually scanning messages
• Custom System Monitors: provides easy extensibility of monitoring capabilities so that external programs and scripts, such as thirdparty network analysis tools, can be executed and analyzed
