IPSentry Network Monitoring Software is a Windows based network monitoring program.
IPSentry Network Monitoring Suite is used by thousands of Information System specialists, system administrators, and IT solution providers around the world for nearly 10 years and counting.

If a problem is detected, various alerts and notifications can be triggered to make sure you are aware of the problem as soon as possible.

With IPSentry, you can choose from various alert and notification options, such as pager, cell phone, email, audible alerts, external power control for lights and sirens, system reboots, service restarts, and more.

Whether you are monitoring one server or five hundred, performing simple ping tests or complex network tests based on database query thresholds, SNMP value delta changes and performance counter values, IPSentry is designed to provide a simple interface with the power and complexities sitting behind the scenes allowing you to concentrate on what you do best - keep your networks up and running because the alternative is unacceptable.

Our on-demand monitoring service makes it easy and affordable to detect network and website failures early, minimizing downtime and avoiding economic impact.

Bello network monitoring service periodically checks your website as well as your other servers. As soon as outages are discovered you will be notified via email, SMS/pager or ICQ message.

For the free starter account the monitoring interval is 60 minutes, for full service accounts you can choose monitoring intervals down to one minute. Sensor types include PING, PORT, HTTPS, HTTP, Advanced HTTP, HTTP Transaction, DNS, SMTP, POP3, SNMP, FTP and more.

Even if you run your own monitoring systems you might want to consider using our on-demand monitoring service as a "second opinion" about the availability of websites and their uptimes, e.g. when SLA (service level agreements) must be checked.

Lithium Network Monitoring Platform is an integrated and feature-rich platform for monitoring and managing networks, servers, and appliances.

The project is designed to provide an end-to-end solution, and includes automated device monitoring, out-of-the-box support for SNMP, and an integrated trouble-ticket case management system.

The platform is built around a scalable, modular architecture that incorporates a Unix-based server-side component, Windows and Mac OS X clients for user interaction, and a Web-based user interface.

Lithium has built-in support for monitoring device using the industry standard SNMP protocol. Lithium delivers out-of-the-box support for any device that supports SNMP. The Basic and Advanced SNMP modules that ship with LITHIUM|Core deliver monitoring support for common SNMP MIBS. Additional and vendor/device-specific monitoring capability is provided though the use of Device Modules.

Lithium incorporates a tightly-integrated case management system for tracking and recording fault investigation, incident reporting, user requests and communications. Lithium allows you to bind monitored entities to cases. This allows the retrieval of all cases relating to a particular device, network interface, site, etc at any time.

Graphically rich, interactive monitoring and management consoles are available for both Mac OS X and Windows XP/Vista. The Console applications provide users with advanced graphing, device browsing, fault management and incident investigation facilities.

Lithiums Core component comes bundled with an OS-independent web-based interface that allows you to view in-depth network monitoring and operational telemetry anytime, anywhere without the need for additional client software.

Built from the ground-up by LithiumCorp for enterprise scalability and reliability, the Lithium Network Monitoring Platform delivers this with a combination of a flexible architecture, process-per-device resourcing and the reliability and stability of a UNIX-based back-end.

Limitations:

· FREE Edition License - 10 Devices Maximum
· Professional - 25 Devices Maximum
· Enterprise Edition - UNLIMITED Devices

Whats New in This Release:

· Net-SNMP on Mac OS X server/client locking up when being monitored by Lithium has been fixed.
· A forced reload of the device data tree when uptime discontinuity is encountered.
· Vendor/Device module/User list is made available via XML.
· Reduced syslog debug/info output.
· The build of construct has been fixed to make it universal (PPC/Intel).
· A bandwidth reporting interface with 95% percentile and CSV export has been added.
· Adding/Editing devices now presents a drop-down list of installed modules.
· Re-assigning cases not present a drop-down list of users.

Network Info is a small tool which displays important data of all network adapters that are connected to the computer (e.g. modem, DSL, LAN). The handling of the program is easy and intuitive. Data that are displayed are for example the IP-address, MAC-address, subnet mask and the address of the DHCP-server.

If you click the Tray-button on the caption, the program minimizes to the system tray. Now the tooltip of the icon in the system tray shows the IP- and gateway-address of the network adapter that was displayed at last.

Whats New in This Release:

· Differentiation between private and public IPs. The current Internet IP can be determined. So far there was no way to get this IP if your machine was behind a router or a proxy server. Furthermore a help was integrated that can be activated by hitting the F1 key.

For years, System Administrators, Network Operators and Helpdesk Employees have relied upon the power, flexibility and reliability of the ActiveXperts Network Monitor tool.

ActiveXperts powerful Network Monitor Engine technology has been adopted by several software companies all over the world. ActiveXperts Network Monitoring technologies is used by thousands of companies all over the world, making ActiveXperts the leading provider of Network Monitoring solutions.

The mission of the product is to maximize the reliability of your production servers and applications through the automatic detection and correction of problems and issues.

The product runs as a service on the Windows 2003/2000/XP/NT platform. ActiveXperts Network Monitor supports Windows, UNIX, Linux and Novell platforms. When problems are detected, youre immediately notified by network message, e-mail or SMS message. When a failure is detected, the network monitor tool will try to correct the problem.

Network Monitor Engine (a Windows service)
The Network Monitor Engine is the service that continuously monitors the servers in your LAN/WAN for availability. The service is also responsible for notifying, triggering actions, recovery and logging. The engine is multi-threaded, capable of monitoring many servers simultaneously. It can monitor various platforms, including Windows, Novell, Linux and Unix. It has many built-in monitor checks. Operators can write new checks in VBScript or RSH and add these to the configuration.
There s no agent software required on the servers being monitored; the monitoring service uses protocols and application layers of the Operating System to do its job.

ActiveXperts Network Monitor includes many built-in monitor checks. You can add new monitor check routines yourself, using VBScript. This is explained in the online Network Monitor VBScript Guidelines.

Network Monitor Manager
The Network Monitor Manager application is used to view the results and to make changes to the configuration. This Manager application allows you to visually monitor the network from any desktop PC.

Use the Network Monitor Manager application to view results and to make changes to the configuration

The Manager application can be installed on any Windows 98, Windows NT or higher computer (workstation or server), and has different authority levels. You can restrict help desk employees to only view results, while you can allow network operators to make changes to the configuration.

Web Interface
The Web Interface is a collection of read-only XML based Views of the network. They can be viewed by an Internet Browser by the use of XSL style sheets. This only requires one port on the firewall (default: port 80) to allow monitoring the network from a remote location. The Web Interface pages can be customized by editing the XSL style sheets. It is very easy to configure the XSL style sheets, for instance to change: colors, sorting, listed items, column and row sizes, and more. This is a unique feature of ActiveXperts Network Monitor, and very often used by the HelpDesk staff.
