Servers Alive is an end-to-end network monitoring tool running on Windows 2000/2003/XP. It works agentless and across operating systems. Its checks and alerts are on the cutting edge of technology.

Extensive Monitoring
High monitoring performance without a high price. From a simple ping to more complex SNMP checks, web URLs to Windows performance monitoring. And if you can't find the check you need within our extensive list of available options you can always write your own using our very simple COM interface. Simply the most extensive monitoring available.

Flexible Alerting Engine
Designed for real life alerting with maximum alerting types. Alerts can be sent to teams or persons, that way you can adapt the address to which the alert is sent based on the person's schedule. You'll get the alert when you're on-call, and not on other days.

Smart Output
Create your own HTML templates using our easy to use HTML tags to get great looking web output.

Graphical Results
Servers Alive uses industry standard RRD (Round Robin Database) to give you great looking graphics of check times and results that you can use in reports or web pages.

Agent-less for most monitoring, agents for secure environments
Most of the monitoring can be done without special remote agents. However for some secure environments we also have remote agents.

Extensive Monitoring
High monitoring performance without a high price.
PING - ICMP/TCP (including TOS settings) and IPX
TCP Services - Any service that will respond to a TCP connection, such as web, ftp, and mail servers. You can even define your own TCP based checks with our protocol builder.
UDP Services - Some popular UDP based services, such as radius servers, CITRIX servers, and many game servers. You can even define your own UDP based checks with our protocol builder.
DNS - Do you get the correct IP address back from your DNS server?
Windows Servers - Monitor the status of services, processes, disk space, and performance monitor metrics.
Web Services - Verify the status and content of your web servers (HTTP, HTTPS, MMS, and RTSP). And this by retrieving a page (HTTP(S) GET) or by posting data (HTTP(S) POST).
Using a proxy? Not a problem we can handle that.
Your webpage is protected with a password (HTTP basic or NTLM authentication)? Again not a problem, we also support that.
Servers Alive can also check the validity of your SSL web certificates.
Databases - Monitor Microsoft SQL server databases and Oracle databases.
Netware
SNMP - We have support for snmpv1, snmpv2 and snmpv3 (authentication and privacy) checks. A lookup of the snmp check result within our MIB database can be done to get a more clear check result.
Example: if you check the status of a UPS don't you prefer to know that it is "online" or "onBattery" instead of knowing that it's 2 or 3?
Remote Agent - Monitor remote system via a secured connection by using our monitoring agents (available for Windows and Unix/Linux/BSD)
Result Scripting - Using VBScripting you can convert the received result to something more readable.
Write your own check - You also have the ability to write custom software to do your own checks through Servers Alive. We already have several examples including:
Virtual machine check in VMWare Server/ESX/GSX
Mailflow
IPv6 ping
*nix diskspace
*nix processes
NT eventlog
Lotus Domino
and more on this page
Built-in trap receiver - Get alerted when Servers Alive receives a trap (Enterprise only feature!)

Flexible Alerting Engine
Designed for real life alerting with maximum alerting types.
Notifications
SMTP mail - With or without authentication and with fall-back to a 2nd mailserver if needed.
Message on your cellphone - Via a connected (GSM)modem send a message to your cellphone (SMS) using the TAP,UCP or AT+C protocol.
Paging - Send via the network using the SMPP or SNPP protocol a paging message
NotePager - Let NotePager deliver your paging message
Instant Messaging - Get an alert via ICQ, MSN, AIM (AOL) or XMPP (like Jabber or Google Talk)
Popup message
Actions
(re)Start a service - Remote or localy
Reboot a host
Execute an application or batch command
Wake On LAN - Send a magic packet to a remote system in order to wake it up.
POST data to a webserver
SNMP trap - Send an SNMP trap to a remote management station
Sound - Play a warning sound.
Rules
You decide when - Alerts can be send on down and up, but also after a specific number of downs or when more than x% of the last checks were down.
Schedule - Use different alerts based on the time of the day
Person/team - Send your alerts to a person/team instead of to a fixed address. A person can have different "addresses" based on the time of the day, and is or isn't on-call.
