File Sight MonitorThe File Sight monitor watches real time file access by users and programs. You can configure which files it watches, and
how you are notified when a particular operation (file read, write, delete, etc) occurs. |
| Actions | Pro | Lite |
|---|---|---|
Dial-Up ConnectionConnects or disconnects a Windows Dial-up Connection. Typically this is for servers that are not on the Internet, but need to connect to send alerts. | ||
E-mail AlertSends 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. | ||
Execute ScriptSimilar to the Execute Script monitor, this Action lets you extend the list of available actions via your own script written in VBScript. Many variables from the source monitor are also available for creating rich, situation-specific responses. | ||
Message BoxA 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. | ||
Pager Alert via SNPPSend monitor results to pagers via standard Simple Network Paging Protocol (SNPP). You can easily specify when messages should be sent or suppressed, and the content of the message. | ||
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) | ||
Play SoundAudible alert when monitors detect a problem with the server. | ||
Reboot ServerReboots the server if a monitor has detected a critical system failure. | ||
SMS Text MessageSend SMS text messages to your mobile device via your service providers SMS Internet gateway (SMPP server). You can control which information gets sent, as well as when messages are allowed. | ||

Start ServiceSends control messages to the Windows Service Control Manager to start, stop or restart a specified service. | ||
