PA Server Monitor Lite

Event Log Monitor

Checks any specified Windows Event Logs (Application, System, Security plus custom event logs) and executes actions you specify if a source you're interested in adds an event to the log.

Mail Server Monitor

Monitor your mail servers (POP3, IMAP & SMTP) and validate that they are running and accepting incoming connections.

Web Page Monitor

Monitor one or many pages on a web site. Checks for positive cases (text that must be found), negative cases (alerts if error text found) and if the page has changed at all. Response times are checked and recorded, and reports can be generated to understand trends.

E-mail Alert

Sends SMTP email messages to mail boxes, cell phones, mobile devices, etc. The E-mail action has Alert Digests which are a powerful/friendly feature that combines multiple alerts that happen within a short time into a single email notification. This can be very helpful when something goes really wrong. You can easily specify when messages should be sent or suppressed.

Message Box

A simple message box that displays monitor findings. These message boxes are smart: if there are many pending alerts you can easily dismiss them all at once.

Network Message (Net Send)

Sends a message box containing the critical monitor details to every place that you are logged in.

Phone Dialer (DTMF/SMS)

Dials a modem/phone and optionally sends DTMF commands or other commands (to send SMS messages for example). This is typically used by a disconnected server to send an alert over a normal phone line (where the CallerID identifies the server)

Reboot Server

Reboots the server if a monitor has detected a critical system failure.

Start Application

Starts a specified application when the monitor triggers actions

Write to Event Log

Writes monitor details to the Windows Event Log.

Reports are generated in HTML and accessible from within the PA Server Monitor Console application, or from a web browser

See a one line status indicator per server to see at a glance how the servers in your data center are doing. Per-group status reports are also supported.

This report shows all of your servers in a group in a single page. Each server is a small box that is color coded according to the status of the monitors on that server.

Group summary reports can be specified and controlled in a per-group way. In addition, group reports can be automatically emailed to anyone that needs to keep track of the servers.

You can create scheduled reports which will get created when you want them, and optionally email the report to a list of recipients. Scheduled report URLs are stable so you can add them to your Favorites list to quickly and easily see the latest results.

PA Server Monitor supports the ability for its reports to be published via your web servers for further distribution

While a computer is in maintenance mode, PA Server Monitor won't run monitors. It will turn itself back on automatically after the maintenance window expires if you manually entered maintenance mode, or it can automatically enter and leave maintenance mode on a schedule.

Password protect the PA Server Monitor Console, and alert on changes that could affect monitoring.

Keep track of which errors have been reviewed and acknowledged. Also a great way for administrators to have an overview of any errors within their area of responsibility.

PA Server Monitor is composed of a console that you interact with, and a system service that is started when the computer boots up and is always running in the background.
