Servers Alive Flakey? I've found that sometimes it gives me a false down, but usually its because I've set the check criteria too tight, or not taken network latency into consideration. Every time I setup a new check, I have it email me ONLY, until I get the criteria set correctly to do what I want, THEN I set it to alert the group... I've been using SA for about 6 or 7 years, at 3 different companies, and found it invaluable for monitoring various systems and equipment. I'm now using the free version at a couple of churches and non-profits for monitoring small-scale networks and its doing exactly what I need... mostly monitoring PC's, ISP connectivity, and printer status(low ink, etc).

Just curious if I am the only one. Had the product over a year now installed on 3 different machines and it’s never been a solid performer. I would say over 50% of our alerts over the last year have been false. I am running out of excuses to give to my director for the product. Is it solid for you guys? If so, is there some magic combo of hardware, os / patch level, etc..... Need some help here or I think I am going to just have to abandon the product.
