Hello fellow WHT members!

I would like to know if you know of any server monitoring software that will allow to check to see if a specific port is running on an IP address


Thanks in advance.

if you need help adding a port to monitor let me know.
here's one that was posted, then i edited the dns status part:

$box = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["SERVER_NAME"];
$boxip = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["SERVER_NAME"] . " (" . gethostbyname($HTTP_SERVER_VARS["SERVER_NAME"]) . ")";

Hi Aretna,

We're using http://www.Alertra.com to monitor our servers, and it works great.

<<<
PROTOCOLS SUPPORTED

HTTP
HTTPS
PING
SMTP
POP3
IMAP4
FTP
TCP (Test TCP socket connections with any host and port.)
>>>

We've been happy with them, and have found that their wonderful alerting options (email, ICQ, AOL IM, phone, and SMS) are super useful. :D

Bring back ServerRat! ;-)

We have signed up to Alerta's free month trial and it seems really fantastic. A little pricey though, maybe have to change the monitoring intervals after the free trial is up ;)

I have an old Windows PC that I have up 24/7 running Servers Alive? (http://www.woodstone.nu/salive/), a free Windows server monitor... it sure is cheaper than Alertra :)

ServersAlive works great for us.

IPMonitor from DeepMetrix, it's pretty nice and easy.

just wanted to say thanks logic...

at work I use a program called netsaint (a google search will get you a url) it's really nice - but kind of over blown if you just want to monitor one server.

however if you have multiple servers are are looking for a 'whats up gold' replacement... netsaint is the way to go.

BigBrother in my opinion is the way to go.

http://www.bb4.com

I montor ALL servers, routers, t1 and dsl customers from it

Why pay, do it yourself:
