subject: A Network Performance Monitor to Keep Your Network Working Optimally by:Maxim A Perenesenko [print this page] Extromatica Network Performance Monitor is your one-stop solution for monitoring your network's performance and making sure that efficiency is always kept to a maximum. The checks that can be carried out by this software cover the widest range of hardware and software, including elements that use different monitoring approaches like printers, servers, databases, services and websites. All of these can be closely monitored in order to ensure the highest degree of performance. Any faults or drops in performance will be automatically logged and stored in the software's event log. Solutions to problems may also be automatically applied or the network administrator may choose to take over following a notification from the software.
Faults can mean different things depending on the network elements that they are relevant to. Problems can be things such as an important service no longer working, a storage device that is almost full or simply a website that is no longer responding. Reduced performance and reduced bandwidth can also occur in addition to slow response time of your devices and other network elements.
Solving these problems can often be done automatically and you can configure these solutions in the form of a task. This can be something as simple as informing the administrator or reloading a service or running a query. However, there are also more complex actions that can be carried out by using customized scripts in languages such as Visual Basic, Active Perl, Active Python or JavaScript. However, in cases where a problem simply cannot be solved automatically, the administrator can instead be warned of the issue by various different methods. This can include sending an SMS, e-mail or other instant message directly to the network administrator.
Wizards are another automation feature of the software. It is designed to configure various checks of multiple elements over the network, organizing these checks in groups so that they may be carried out in a timely manner. There are a virtually unlimited number of different checks that can be carried. These can include pinging network devices, scanning ports or monitoring usage of resources such as disk space and memory. Database status may also be checked as well as the monitoring of network printers, network addresses and even checking for content published on a website.
Real-time filter groups are supported, meaning that special folders can be used to view and access particular tasks defined by specified conditions. This allows for real-time monitoring. HTML report generation is available, generating reports both on demand and by the schedule.
