I have a few servers that are in trouble right now... I'd like a program that can constantly ping them, and when one of them becomes unreachable to send me an email via an SMTP server that I have onsite.

Has anyone ever done something like this?


p.s. the software will need to run on a windows 2003 server machine..


Thanks in advance.

Alchemy Eye is the perfect solution to your problem.

SiteKick//WebCEO is for monitoring web-servers, not network application/file servers.
They use a tracking code which u have to insert in the "web-page" of ur website.

For application/print/file/other local servers or computer on ur network accessing the net via gateway u need alchemy eye to be installed on the gateway

Alchemy Eye 6.6

This network management tool continuously monitors server availability. When network errors occur, Alchemy Eye can alert the network administrator by e-mail, cell phone or pager BEFORE disaster strikes. If a server does go down, Alchemy Eye automatically notifies the network administrator and writes a detailed log file.
