We have been using Whats Up for years. No issues, but of course it is not free.
And yes, the siren is awesome when it goes off! New employees get freaked out when they hear it for the first time. -----Original Message----- From: John Aldrich [mailto:jaldr...@blueridgecarpet.com] Sent: Friday, April 16, 2010 6:28 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Server monitoring solution recommendations? You could look at What's Up and see how you like it. I used it at a couple different places. Not sure how well it handles virtual servers, but it's pretty good on monitoring interfaces, etc. It'll even monitor websites and see if it can log into a website. Had a PC at a previous job running WUG and had it alarm with a siren whenever there was a problem with a website (pretty frequently) that we ran at that employer. It was really fun when the siren went off in the call center... :-) -----Original Message----- From: Michael Leone [mailto:oozerd...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, April 16, 2010 9:22 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Server monitoring solution recommendations?

And very complicated, from what I was able to gather. :-) I also looked into the free version of GroundWorks (which uses Nagios, I believe), and there was an awful lot of configuring that needed to be done, to get even simple information. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
