Simple Server

Like any company, you might have more than one server, depending on your situation. For instance, you may have a server that hosts your internal network, another you use for file storage and a separate server that’s used to host your website. Indeed, most companies store their server outside the company, and no-one is sitting over their status monitoring the performance. The first you’ll hear is when a customer bothers to contact you to state they can’t buy a product from your site.

If your server is a virtual server, you may find that it goes down relatively easily, particularly when it is overloaded with users. Launch a new product and you might find that your site goes down, overnight, when you find that it needs to be online when your American audience wants to purchase your product. Think of the lost sales within that period.

Simple Server Monitor is a tool that you can use to monitor multiple servers, either locally or remotely. It resides on your system and will keep checking your system, in the background, without you needing to perform the check manually. It will physically logon to the remote server, rather than simply ping its existence. Your server may be up and running, but the FTP module may have crashed, so pinging the server is never enough.

Simple Server Monitor will display graphs displaying the uptime of your server and enables you to export it to a log file.
