Servers-Check: Applications, Network & Systems Monitoring Tool

Servers Check - English
Monitoring Software

ServersCheck's software is a performant network monitoring and systems monitoring tool. Servers-Check watches your systems for you and informs you when something is not performing as expected.

It monitors the availability of networked devices and computer systems (Windows, Unix, Linux, MacOS,...). ServersCheck runs on Windows NT4, 2000, 2003 and Windows XP Professional.

Servers-Check can monitor any TCP Port (HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, NNTP, POP3, SMTP, VNC, DNS, ...), check Oracle, MySQL & ODBC databases, trap SNMP values (disk space, free memory, CPU usage,...), verify content served from a web server, check NT services availability. It also can monitor environmental devices like temperature, humidity, flooding. ServersCheck is administrated through a browser by connecting to the built-in web server. It includes real-time reporting, service level check and outputs graphs for the values it captures. In the free version you can monitor up to 5 devices.

Servers-Check markets innovative environmental monitoring devices for temperature, humidity, flooding and power loss in locations like server rooms.

Servers-Check Monitoring Software Architecture

ServersCheck is an "agent less" monitoring software solution allowing administrators to have a complete overview from one single solution and without having to install any software on the monitored networked devices or systems.

Servers-Check is designed around 2 main components: a custom built-in web server and a monitoring service performing the actual job. End-users access the monitoring software through their browser from which they are able to view systems' status and to manage the software. Depending on your license ServersCheck can also run in a redundant, fail-over mode: when the server running your main Servers-Check installation would fail for any reason then your backup Servers-Check installation can pick up the job.

Check types available in the ServersCheck Monitoring Software

Servers-Check is a systems and network monitoring tool with 60 different type of checks.

Network Related Checks

TCP: verify if a computer responds on a certain port (Eg: web server on port 80).

PING: send a ping command and retrieves response times.

PINGAVG: send 2 Windows ping commands and check the average response time. Requires Windows running in English.

TRACERT: performs a tracer-route to check connectivity to a target host. Include IP's and Exclude IP's are supported.

DNS: performs a DNS lookup to verify if the domain name matches the defined IP address.

Remote Monitoring

These are subscription based checks running of systems hosted by ServersCheck providing a second opinion on system availability from a remote location.

REMOTE-PING: performs a PING command from our remote server.
REMOTE-URL: checks the url from our remote server.
REMOTE-TCP: checks the TCP port from our remote server.

Internet Related Checks
URL: check if a web page contains a predefined check.

URL Image: check if a url to see if the image is returned correctly.

URL Exists: reads a file or URLs and verifies if the URLs exist.

HTTP Status: verifies the HTTP status code returned by the web server.

HTTP Header: verifies if the predefined HTTP Header (or a part of it) can be found in the response from the web server.

FTP: makes an FTP connection and login to a remote server.

FTP FILE FOUND: makes an FTP connection and login. Returns an error if a file can not be found (or not).

NNTP: test a connection to a news server.

Network Traffic Related Checks
TRAFFIC: monitor inbound or outbound network traffic.
BANDWIDTH: monitor bandwidth usage by combining inbound and outbound traffic.

SNMP Related Checks
SNMP: retrieve values from an SNMP enabled device.

Mail Related Checks
POP3: connection and login to a mailbox (POP3 enabled).
SMTP: send a test mail through an outgoing mail server (SMTP Server).
SMTP->POP3: send a test mail through an outgoing mail server (SMTP Server) and then connect to the defined POP3 server and check if the test email was well received.

Applications Specific Checks
LOTUS: tries to make a connection to a Notes Server and open a specified Notes Database.

Windows Based Checks
PERF-COUNT: retrieves the value from a performance counter running on a remote Windows based host.

SERVICES: verify if a service is still running on a remote Windows based host.

PROCESS: checks if a process is running or not.

PROCESS-MEM: checks the memory usage of a process.

PROCESS-CPU: checks the CPU usage of a process.

EVENT-LOG: creates an alert when an error is found in the event log.

CPU: tracks the CPU usage and generates an alert when exceeding a treshold.

MEMORY: monitors the available memory.

DRIVESPACE: alerts you when the free space on a drive is too low.

REGISTRY: checks if a specific registry entry can be found.

Linux/Unix Based Checks
PROCESS: verify if a process is still running on a remote Linux/Unix host..

LINUX DISK: verifies the free disk space on a remote Linux (only) based system.

LINUX MEMORY: verifies the free memory on a remote Linux (only) based system.

LINUX SNMP: enables you to trap LINUX values such as CPU Load, Free Swap Space, Partition Sizes and more.

Database Checks
ORACLE: test a connection to an Oracle server.

ORACLE SNMP: retrieves key Oracle parameters through SNMP.

MYSQL: test a connection to a MYSQL server.

ODBC: test a connection to ODBC compliant databases (MS SQL Server, Access, Informix, Sybase, Oracle...).

ODBC-SQL: connect to an ODBC compliant databases and execute the SQL statement. The results are compared to predefined values.

ODBC-SQL-DURATION: connect to an ODBC compliant databases and execute the SQL statement. The time to execute of the SQL statement is compared to treshold values.

Hardware Checks
CISCO-WORKS (SNMP): monitors values returned by a Cisco Works Server through SNMP.

DELL OPEN MANAGE (SNMP): monitors values returned by a Dell Open Manage system through SNMP.

MAX-DATA: monitor hardware data from a MAXDATA server.

File Checks
FILE: verifies if a file exists or not at the specified location.

FILE-CONTENT: raises an alarm if a particular content can not be found in the file.

FILE NEGATIVE CONTENT: raises an alarm if a particular content can be found in the file.

FILE AGE: compares the age of a file to the current time in seconds and generates an alarm if the condition is true.

FILE SIZE: verifies the size of a file and raises an alert if the conditions are not met.

Environmental Checks
TEMPERATURE: Monitors the temperature (°C or F) and alerts you when needed. Requires a temperature sensor.

HUMIDITY: Monitors the humidity in the air and alerts you when needed. Requires a humidity sensor.

FLOODING: Informs when an area becomes wet or flooded. Requires a flooding sensor.

POWER-UP: Informs when a power outage occurs. Requires a power sensor.

External Checks
EXTERNAL: enables you to run your batch files (bat), exe's and vbscripts and verify its output against predefined values.

Servers Check - German/Deutsch
Überwachungssoftware der Leistung und Verfügbarkeit von EDV-Geräte.
