Internet Server Monitor is a network server monitoring tool that enables system administrators to monitor servers and the network applications they host for failures, recoveries, and load. Minimize downtime by configuring the software to notify the on call system administrator when a server application fails or system performance degrades.When a failure, recovery, or degraded performance is detected, Internet Server Monitor can alert you remotely by email, pager or SMS, as well as on your desktop via system tray icon status and popup, sound, or message box. Failures, recoveries, and load can optionally be logged to any Windows Event Log or your syslog server. Lastly, a process can be started.Internet Server Monitor not only checks the availability of server applications but in most cases includes functionality to test the application performance. For example, an HTTP or Web monitor can be created to test the availability of the server and verify the returned URL or document contains the desired content.
