Scheduling the website monitoring tasks for your web-site

When last time was you monitoring the personal website (and also servers and network services)? Are you scheduling your website monitoring jobs in any mater? Do you believe your website is operating at this moment? Now I presume that you are opening your browser, entering the URL and checking if the website is still present. Looks like the things are alright… Well may it be the page is just stored in the browser cache? Performing a complete refresh… Being in luck for now! But can you be sure it was up yesterday, last week, or last month? Most providers grant you a 99.9% uptime. Well, I bet you would like to know that without fail.

Imagine that your potential clients visit your website but it is unexpectedly not responding. They see complicated error message or even blank page. How do you suspect, how much of customers will go away and will never browse again? Well, maybe some of them will perform an attempt later. But anyway, people prefer to place their purchases on the steady and safe websites. When you are owning some sort of web-oriented business, you need to be sure, your visitors can browse your server and receive information, stuff, or products they are searching for. Any particular downtime means loss of customers that, in its turn, leads to loss of business.

Someone may say that it is life, downtimes happens, and you can’t completely avoid them. This is half-way correct. You cannot completely evade them, but you can of course minimize them! The precedently you notified about any issue, the precedently you will be able to take some action and resolve it. Notify your website provider, check some network services, etc.

For this purpose, you may want to use ProtoMon. It’s the server monitoring software designed to automatically check your network, servers and website periodically and in no time let you know when any problems found. It takes only a few minutes to download, install, configure, and start using this website monitoring utility.

You can use the checks of the different kinds to monitor every aspect of your network. First of all you can create a ICMP monitor. It permits you to feel certain that the host network computer is available. Website monitor (HTTP monitor) can connect to the website, download any web page and optionally validate its content using the powerful filters with the support of the boolean expressions. Besides, the program is able to use the proxy server, and connect to the password protected zones of the network. Also you may wish to check your network using the FTP, FTPS and SFTP protocols. And control your mail server (POP3 monitor, SMTP monitor) to make certain that you are able to get email letters from the clients and they do receive your answers.

ProtoMon can start the scripts on your network server using the Telnet or SSH monitors, then grab and analyze their output. This permits you to monitor almost every aspect of your server including the CPU load, memory usage and much more.

If any issue detected, the monitoring software will notify you by displaying the pop-up window, playing the sound file, launching some application or URL, or sending a notification email letter to the desired recipients.

This network monitoring software keeps full monitoring statistics of all monitors on your PC. You are able to see it whenever you wish, with a statistics viewer which includes a well-looking graph with support of panning and zooming and explicit hints for even better comfort. Also you can enable the built-in web server to connect to ProtoMon remotely, and view the monitor statuses, failure list and statistics using any web browser.
