Installing the website monitoring works for the company’s web site
How long time ago did you monitor your website (and also servers and network)? Are you scheduling your website monitoring jobs in any way? Do you think your website is responding at this moment? Now I presume that you are starting your web-browser, typing the URL and looking if it’s still available. Seems like everything is good… Well may it be the page was just saved in the IE cache? Doing a complete reload… Being in luck this time! But can you be sure it was available yesterday, last week, or last month? Every hosting provider will grant you a 99.9% uptime. Well, I think you would choose to know that guaranteed.
Imagine that your prospective customers coming to your website in time it is unexpectedly not responding. They look at strange error text or simply empty page. How do you think, how much of clients will depart and will never browse again? Well, maybe some of them will perform an attempt later. But anyway, people would rather place their purchases on the stable and secure websites. If you are doing some type of network business, you need to be sure, your visitors can browse your server and receive information, stuff, and products they are searching for. Any unnoticed downtime means loss of visitors that, in its turn, leads to loss of business.
Someone may tell that this is life, downtimes happens, and you cannot entirely avoid them. This is half-way correct. You cannot completely escape them, but you can for certain minimize them! The sooner you will know about any error, the precedently you will be able to take the action to correct it. Email your website provider, check some network services, etc.
For this purpose, you may want to use ProtoMon. This is a server monitoring software that will automatically review your network, servers and website in some intervals and in no time alert you when any failures happened. It takes only a few moments to download, install, configure, and start using this website monitoring software.
You can use the monitors of the different kinds to control every aspect of your website. As a first step you may wish to add a ping monitor. This allows you to be sure that the host network computer is working. Website monitor (HTTP monitor) can connect to the website, download some web page and optionally control the content with the text filters with the support of the logical expressions. By the way, ProtoMon can use the proxy server, and connect to the secured zones of the website. Also you may wish to control your fileserver using the FTP, FTPS and SFTP protocols. And control your mail server (POP3 monitor, SMTP monitor) to make certain that you can receive mail letters from your customers and they do receive answers from you.
ProtoMon can start the scripts on your network server through the Telnet or SSH monitors, then capture and parse their output. This permits you to monitor almost every parameter of your server including the memory usage, CPU load and much more.
When any error found, the monitoring software will inform you by showing the pop-up form, playing some sound file, executing any program or URL, or sending a notification email letter to the selected addresses.
This network monitoring software stores full monitoring statistics of all monitors on your PC. You will be able to look at it locally, with the statistics viewer which includes a nice-looking graph with support of zooming and panning and detailed notes for even better comfort. Plus you may wish to enable the built-in web server to connect to ProtoMon from the network, and view the monitoring statuses, failure list and statistics using the favorite web browser.
