24 x 7 Server/Network Monitoring

Praxis’ MonitorIT is a cost-effective, easy to use solution that can monitor the availability, health and performance of your servers and network devices on IP-based networks.  It provides extensive, proactive monitoring, analysis, alert notification and automatic corrective action capabilities, dynamic graphing and reporting that enable you to keep your network of servers and network infrastructure at its peak, helping you to avoid costly downtime situations.   Simply put…….you can’t afford NOT to use Praxis’ MonitorIT.  Praxis’ MonitorIT provides protection, measurement, alert and analysis capabilities that will help manage your systems and networks on an ongoing basis.

ServerWatch monitors servers running any operating system to check for failures, response times and IP services availability, such as HTTP (Web Service), SMTP & POP3 (Email Service), DNS, TELNET, FTP, SNMP, and even SQL Server and ORACLE database checks. Also supports the secure (SSL) protocol checks for HTTP/S, FTP/S, SMTP/S, POP3/S, and TELNET/S.

SNMPWatch monitors all SNMP compliant servers and network devices for SNMP Traps. 

CounterWatch for SNMP and Windows monitors and analyzes performance and operation using all the available and very detailed performance counters; includes real-time and historic, dynamic graphs that can replay previous monitored data, and a variety of reports to analyze monitored data.  We can even easily create your own custom monitoring and report templates to simplify what counters you want to regularly monitor and on which specific servers/devices.  In addition, you can define watches on any counter and be alerted when the counter value exceeds your specified threshold.  SNMP counters are derived from the server/device MIBs you provide.  Windows counters are available for monitoring the processor, memory, disk drives, network, printers, Windows OS, Microsoft applications such as SQL Server, Exchange, IIS, and 3rd party applications such as Oracle, and are automatically derived by the Praxis’ MonitorIT Agent service.

For Windows-based servers and workstations, using the Praxis’ MonitorIT Agent service that is centrally managed, and remotely installed using Praxis’ MonitorIT's Agent "push" technology:

EventLogWatch monitors Application, System and Security Event Logs for your Windows NT, 2000, XP & 2003 servers and workstations; and for Windows 2000 Server and later, the new Event Logs for DNS, Directory Service, and File Replication Service are monitored. Be alerted when any event you are monitoring for is written to the Event Logs.  Includes a very flexible interface for defining the Event Log monitoring and for reporting on captured events; also includes an Event Log Viewer to view the Event Logs from one or more servers in one view; and an automatic Archiving feature that will monitor the Event Logs for several different conditions and automatically and automatically create an archive of the naticve EVY files,   We Centrally manage Event Logs for all your servers!

WinServicesWatch monitors the Windows services on your Windows NT, 2000, XP & 2003 servers and workstations. Be alerted when critical services you specify are detected as stopped. Have Praxis’ MonitorIT automatically restart the service.

FileWatch monitors any file on your Windows NT, 2000, XP & 2003 servers and workstations.  Watch for specified files to be created, or optionally watch for specified files to exceed a maximum size, or any change in size from current size, or any change in last-modified date/time from the current last-modified date-time, or even watch for the file to contain a specified substring.  Be alerted when your FileWatch conditions are met.

ProcessWatch monitors the Windows processes on your Windows NT, 2000, XP & 2003 servers and workstations. Set Watches on select processes, including optional CPU and Memory utilization Thresholds, plus there is a option to terminate processes that should not be running.  You can be alerted if a Process that should be running is not running, optionally start it; and if it is running, optionally be alerted if the Process CPU and/or Memory utilization (Physical, Paged Pooled, NonPagePool, or Virtual) exceed the specified thresholds.  

CustomWatch runs any Windows program, command, batch, and/or script executable on a periodic schedule at select Windows NT, 2000, XP & 2003 servers and workstations.  Optionally, generate an alert notification if the executable's Exit Code fails a comparison with your specified exit code.

Sophisticated alert features notify you of potential problems, enabling you to automatically execute corrective actions when alert conditions have been met.  Monitoring data can be viewed in real-time or historical data reports can be generated. All monitoring data is stored in a database that enables you to perform comprehensive analysis and obtain recommendations for improving performance. 

Schedule Praxis’ MonitorIT Reports for automatic, periodic report generation with optional Email of the Report output, or a link to the output, to one or more recipients; Complete flexibility on what is reported, for what time-frame and for what servers/devices, and when the periodic reports run. Exclude Time Period feature to exclude time-of-day and day-of-week periods from Report analysis to more accurately reflect your Service-Level Agreements.

Plus, you can access Praxis’ MonitorIT anytime, from anywhere, using your Internet Explorer (IE) Web browser to view real-time monitoring data, generate reports or perform administration tasks.  Praxis’ MonitorIT’s seamless integration with IE removes the tough learning curve often associated with the use of server and desktop management tools.  If you can use  Internet Explorer, you can use Praxis’ MonitorIT! And with its built-in HTTP server, no other software is needed.  Just install Praxis’ MonitorIT on any Windows based server or workstation, and you can use IE for remote console access to the Praxis’ MonitorIT Server.
