Implementing the website monitoring works for your company web-site
When last time did you look at the company’s website (and also servers and network services)? Do you scheduling your website monitoring jobs in any mater? Can you be sure your website is servicing at this moment? Now I think that you are clicking on your browser, typing the URL and monitoring if it is still usable. Looks like everything is perfect… Well maybe the page was just stored in the browser cache? Lets do a full refresh… Being in luck today! But can you be convinced it was available yesterday, two weeks ago, or past month? Every hosting provider will grant you a 99.9% uptime. Well, I bet you would choose to know that guaranteed.
Imagine that your prospective clients came to your website in time it is unexpectedly not responding. They see abstruse error text or simply blank page. How do you think, how many of visitors will go away and will never come again? Well, maybe some of them will do another attempt. But anyway, people prefer to do their purchases on the reliable and secure servers. Whenever you are doing any kind of online business, you better be sure, your customers can navigate your server and get information, services, or products they are looking for. Any unexpected fail leads to loss of visitors that, in its turn, leads to loss of business.
You may tell that it is life, everything happens, and you can’t completely avoid downtimes. That is half-way correct. You can’t totally escape them, but you can for sure minimize them! The earlier you get information about the error, the sooner you are able to take the action and resolve it. Call your hosting provider, restart some network services, etc.
With this aim in view, you may want to use ProtoMon. It’s the server monitoring software created to automatically check your website, servers, and network computers in a specified intervals and immediately alert you if some failures detected. It takes only a couple of moments to download, install, configure, and start using this network monitoring software.
You will be able to create the monitors of the different types to perform monitoring jobs for all aspects of your server. First of all you can add a ping monitor. This allows you to feel certain that the host network computer is working. Website monitor (HTTP monitor) can connect to the website, download the specified web page and optionally control its content with the powerful filters with the support of the logical expressions. By the way, ProtoMon is able to make use of the proxy server, and connect to the password protected zones of the network. Also you may want to monitor your fileserver using the FTP, FTPS and SFTP protocols. And check your mail server (POP3 monitor, SMTP monitor) to make certain that you are able to receive mail messages from the clients and they do get messages from you.
ProtoMon can launch the batch files on your network server using the Telnet or SSH monitors, then capture and check their output. This allows you to check almost each parameter of your website including the memory usage, CPU load and much more.
When any issue detected, the monitoring software can let you know by showing the pop-up window, playing some sound file, launching some script or URL, or sending a notification email message to the selected addresses.
This network monitoring software saves full monitoring statistics of each monitor on your computer. You are able to see it at any time, with the handy viewer what includes a nice-looking chart which supports panning and zooming and detailed hints for even better usability. Plus you can use the built-in web server to connect to ProtoMon from the network, and look at the monitor statuses, failure list and statistics using your favorite web browser.
