hostmonitor is a system management tool that continuously monitors servers availability and performance. it can monitor any tcp service, ping a host, retrieve an url, check the available disk space, check integrity of your files and web site and more. it checks network servers at regular intervals and takes a pre-defined actions if a device does not respond. it can provide a visual and sound warning, send an e-mail message to a mailbox, pager or mobile phone, execute external program, etc. the program can generate log file which contains an information about test results. hostmonitor provide different log file detail levels and log file formats and can be configured to suit your needs. also program include log analyzer which can show information separately for each tested host, collect statistical information, show a graph of all request times for specific time, etc. hostmonitor can check any tcp service, ping a host, check a route, monitor web, ftp, mail, dns servers. it can check the available disk space, monitor size of a file or folder, check integrity of your files and web site; it tests your sql servers, monitors network traffic. hostmonitor can check remote hosts directly or using remote monitoring agents (rma) installed in another network. rma is small application that accepts requests from hostmonitor, performs test and provides information about test result back to hostmonitor. rma increases security of the network, decreases network traffic, simplifies network administration, and allows to monitor systems that are impossible to monitor directly from hostmonitor (e.g. using rma hostmonitor can check a number of running processes on linux system).
