Dirk,
I am running the Servers Alive Perfmon checks only across a LAN, not the
Internet.
If the "old" v4.1 used the same system as Perfmon (windows version) can you
explain why there is a difference in the result return via Servers Alive and
the result returned by the Windows Perfmon Application?
NAVCE definition updates show up in the application eventlog on both
workstations and servers, which the eventlog com check can query. Or you
could test for an update of C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec
Shared\VirusDefs\definfo.dat. This dat file consists of three lines, in
the form:

Yes I meant servers, not clients. Although, I might check a client or two per

parent server. As for the action/alert, I had not really thought that far.

Yes.
For example, I monitor is Perfmon (MSExchangeIS,VM Largest Block Size,)
on my exchange servers and I use a 32MB threshold. SA alerts me when
the perfmon counter dips below that value and if it goes back above it.

Can the check values then be monitored through SA and set to respond to
threshold events? Also I'm not certain Server 2000 has an SNMP value for
memory, I seem to recall trying this a few years ago.

Did some reason on the site and most of the database access is done via 3rd

already an add-on, that should also work (via odbc) towards an Interbase db.
