RE: Server Monitoring

["Matthew S. Hallacy" <poptix () POPTIX NET>]

When I worked at Xerox we used 'Enterprise Monitor', which has now been
renamed to ipMonitor, it's a very good product, supports every possible
way of notifying you (numeric pager, text pager, SMS, dial out, email,
etc, you get the idea) their website is at: http://www.mediahouse.com

The downfall? It runs on WindowsNT/2k, although if you run a dedicated
machine for it, turn off absolutely everything you can that isn't vital in
w2k, and don't let anyone use the machine, it shouldn't cause any
problems. (I haven't noticed any leaks in the monitoring program itself)
