Implementing the website monitoring jobs for the personal web site
How recently was you monitoring your website (and also network services and servers)? Are you scheduling your website monitoring tasks in any way? Do you believe your website is servicing at this moment? Now I forespeak that you are starting your browser, entering the URL and checking if it is still available. Seems like everything is perfect… But may it be the page is just stored in the IE cache? Lets do a full reload… Being in luck for now! But can you be convinced it was up yesterday, two weeks ago, or last month? Every provider will grant you a 99.9% uptime. Well, I would choose to know that without fail.
Imagine that your prospective customers opening your website when it’s unexpectedly not responding. They look at abstruse error text or even white page. How do you suspect, how many of customers will slip away and will never come again? Well, maybe some of them will try again later. But anyway, people like to make their purchases on the reliable and secure websites. If you are owning some type of web-oriented business, you need to be sure, your visitors can browse your server and receive data, services, and products they are looking for. Any unexpected error leads to loss of clients that, in its turn, leads to loss of business.
Somebody can say that this is life, downtimes happens, and nobody can totally avoid them. This is half-way true. You can not entirely elude them, but you can for sure minimize them! The earlier you will know about any issue, the sooner you will be able to take the action to fix it. Contact your hosting provider, check some network services, etc.
With this aim in view, you may want to try ProtoMon. It is the server monitoring software designed to automatically navigate your network, servers and website on a timely basis and immediately alert you if any failures betided. It needs only a couple of moments to download, install, configure, and start using this network monitoring software.
You can use the checks of the different types to monitor all aspects of your web-server. First of all you may wish to create a ICMP monitor. It enables you to be sure that the host network system is available. Website monitor (HTTP monitor) can connect to the website, download some web page and even control its content using the text filters which support the logical expressions. Besides, ProtoMon is able to use the proxy server, and connect to the secured zones of the website. Also you may want to control your network using the FTP, FTPS and SFTP monitors. And monitor your mail server (POP3 monitor, SMTP monitor) to be sure that you are able to receive mail letters from your customers and they can get messages from you.
ProtoMon can launch the scripts on your network server using the Telnet or SSH monitors, then grab and parse their output. This enables you to check almost each aspect of your server including the memory usage, CPU load and much more.
When any error detected, the monitoring program will inform you by displaying the pop-up dialog, playing the sound file, executing any application or URL, or sending a notification email letter to the selected recipients.
This network monitoring software saves full monitoring statistics of each monitor on your PC. You may look at it whenever you wish, using the handy viewer which includes a well-looking graph which supports panning and zooming and explicit notes for even better usability. And you can use the built-in web server to connect to ProtoMon from the network, and view the monitoring statuses, failure list and statistics with the favorite web-browser.
