MonitorIT is designed as an intranet/internet based, comprehensive
Windows, Linux/Unix, Network Infrastructure Device monitoring, alerting,
diagnosing, collecting and reporting tool for managing availability and
performance of servers, workstations, and network devices in IP based
networks.
MonitorIT requires a
Windows operating system based computer for its central monitoring
Server. This MonitorIT Server supports Microsoft Access, which by
default is installed with the included Access database engine, or
optionally Microsoft SQL Server, for all its database configuration and
monitoring information. MonitorIT uses Microsoft Internet Explorer to
provide easy, remote, secure console access to the MonitorIT Server’s
built in HTTP server (you do not need IIS or any other web server
software).
MonitorIT provides a
Windows Agent and a Linux/Unix Agent (for Linux, Solaris, AIX, SUSE, SCO/Unixware,
HP-UX, and ESX) with built-in monitoring components to accomplish the
various monitoring capabilities, and ties all the monitoring together
with the central monitoring Server’s alerting, graphing and reporting
components. All monitoring, alerting, diagnosing, graphing, collecting
and reporting information available at the MonitorIT Server can be
accessed from anywhere with MonitorIT’s remote IE based console.
MonitorIT scales to
monitor as many as 1000 servers, workstations and network devices from a
single central MonitorIT Server because virtually all actual monitoring
is ‘delegated’ to the deployed Agent on each server. The MonitorIT
Server sends the appropriate monitoring rules for each server to the
Agent which then monitors locally. The Agent sends monitoring data back
to the central MonitorIT Server only when conditions match the Watch
rules.

MonitorIT Overview for details of
the various monitoring features.
