I like PRTG as well.  I also use ipmonitor v6 (MediaHouse) but is still
works great and simple.

Another one to check out is PRTG network monitor. It has worked well for us
and also has a free (although limited) option.

 

Cheers,

It's got a free option we are considering but soon as you step above that's
it's a nightmare for cost.

If you want something vaguely approximate that is cheaper: WhatsUpGold.

Hi DotNetters,

 

Any one has any recommendations for a service/platform/application that I
can use for monitoring my cloud servers (W2K8,SQL2K8)?

I'd like to monitor classic stuff: availability, IIS, SQL, maybe a bit of
disk and CPU. The only important one really is availability (http/https).

 

Regards,

Corneliu

I just fired up PRTG on a box here and I have to say it looks quite tidy.

The default sensors configured into the product show that they have been
around the traps and know what to look for (number of xlates in a Cisco ASA
as a default rule, for example).
