Servers Alive is a network monitor program. It can monitor any Winsock service, ping a host/machine, check if an NT Service/process is running, check the available disk space on a server, check a Netware server, retrieve an URL or check a MS SQL or Oracle database. When any of these is down, it can warn you in various ways, including sending you an email (SMTP) saying what is down, or paging you with a numeric or alphanumeric warning. Servers Alive supports host dependency, such that when one host goes down, all host dependant on that host can also be flagged as down. For ease of use, the program can also be easily interrogated using a TELNET client and/or a web browser.
Our Review: While the interface is clunky, the program certainly works well and has a number of features that really make it stand out from the rest. You can access the program remotely via its own webserver, and view the information on a continuously updated webpage. The program has a myriad of configuration options, which allow you to get it working just how you want it to. System administrators will want to check this out.
