MonitorThis has now been released!!
MonitorThis is an enterprise focused monitoring service configured from a single XML file which includes a suite of monitors that can be configured to perform environmental monitoring checks.
I prefer to describe it as a task scheduling service on steriods. It has no user interface and is designed to run as a silent background service which can run tasks regularly at predefined intervals or at scheduled times. It can be installed from the command line, automatically updates regularly from a network share and can save alerts to a network location, posts alerts to a web portal or send email notifications. I have included a basic Classic ASP portal to help you get started.
Out of the box I have included a selection of common monitors and the execute function allows you to run any script or command allowing you to extend this even further to suit your requirements.
Included Monitors
- CPU
- PhysicalMemory
- VirtualMemory
- DiskSpace
- DNS
- Ping
- Process
- Service
- Update
- Execute
- FileExist
- WebRequest
- MaxChildren
MonitorThis contains the functionality to replace almost all of my previous monitoring applications with the added bonus that it is memory and CPU efficient meaning it can run almost unnoticed on critical and high availability infrastructure ensuring you know if there are problems before anyone else does.
So the next time you just need to MonitorThis, you can do it for free.
