Network Management and Network Server Monitor Software

Proactive Monitoring

OpManager provides out-of-the-box support for monitoring critical resources on servers, routers, switches, firewalls, domain controllers et all.. Besides the device availability, the other resources monitored include host resources like cpu, disk, and memory utilization, traffic utilization, availability of critical services, important windows event logs etc. Performance data is collected for all the resources periodically to determine their availability and that of the network health as a whole. Pro-active monitoring by way of configuring meaningful thresholds, helps avoid 'unpleasant surprises'. Monitoring performance is done using standard protocols like SNMP, CLI, and WMI. So, it is not mandatory for your servers to be SNMP-enabled for performance monitoring. OpManager can monitor the linux and solaris environments using CLI and windows environment using WMI in the absence of SNMP.

ActiveXperts Network Monitor is the leading solution for monitoring every aspect of your LAN and WAN network. It proactively manages your network servers, printers, network devices, databases and more; It detects and corrects problems before network users start complaining. The product is extremely scalable. It's shipped with an impressive collection of pre-defined, built-in monitoring functions; but if this collection is not sufficient, operators can write their own functions in VBScript and add them to the configuration. The Monitor service processes up to 32 VBScript functions simultaneously.

When problems are detected, you're immediately notified by network message, e-mail, pager, or SMS message. When a failure is detected, the network monitor tool will try to recover the problem by running a system administrator defined program or by restarting a process.

The product includes build-in monitor rules for: Active Directory, ADO databases, ADSI, Disk Drives, CPU Usage, Disk Spaces, Event Log (with content checking), Exchange 2000, File Existence (with content checking), FTP sites, HTTP(s) (with content checking), ICMP/Ping, MS SQL Databases, Novell NDS, NNTP news servers, NTDS (NT4 compatible DS), NTP time servers, ODBC Databases, Oracle Databases (SQLNet), POP3 Mail servers, Printers, Processes, Services, SMTP Mail servers, SNMP, TCP ports (with handshaking), UDP, UNIX Shell Scripts (RSH), VBScript (custom scripts), WMI and more.

ActiveXperts Network Monitor is a complete solution. Regardless of what you want to monitor, ActiveXperts Network Monitor supports it all at a cost-effective price.

Distinct Network Monitor also captures several network traffic statistics for the network segment being monitored and provides a graphical representation of the statistics gathered. This feature may be used together with packet sniffing or on its own. When used on its own, the statistics can potentially span most of the network if Distinct Agents are installed on one system per subnet or switch.

Feature Summary: Captures network traffic and interprets it in plain English. Gives an intelligent interpretation of what actually happened on the network. Imports packet trace files taken with other networks analyzers and views them in Distinct’s plain English format. Supports high speed and wireless networks. Supports 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet and wireless TCP/IP adapters and 4/16 Token Ring cards. Works over serial line with a PPP connection. It allows you to filter at any level. You may filter the capture itself to avoid the collection of unnecessary packets and reduce the size of your capture. You may also filter a captured file and save the packets filtered to a new, smaller, more manageable file. Has a Remote IP Sniffing capability through its Agents. Gathers statistics related to the traffic seen by the system it is running on. It includes the ability to produce statistical reports in HTML format. Exports the network packet trace. This allows you to make use of the data gathered right in your application. Packet header information may be exported in a comma separated format (CSV) for use with Excel or imported into a database. Supports a wide range of protocols. It includes parsers for the most important protocols of the Internet including IP, TCP, UDP, HTTP, SMTP, FTP, POP3, IMAP, LDAP, H323, SIP, etc.
