Automating the website monitoring works for your company web site
How recently was you monitoring the company’s website (and also servers and network services)? Are you scheduling your website monitoring works in some way? Can you be sure your website is servicing at the moment? Now I presume that you are opening your browser, entering the URL and monitoring if it is still available. Looks like the things are okay… But may it be the page is just stored in the browser cache? Doing a complete refresh… Being in luck today! But are you convinced it was available yesterday, two weeks ago, or past month? Most providers grant you a 99.9% uptime. Well, I would like to know this for sure.
Imagine that your prospective customers came to your website in time it’s accidentally not responding. They see strange error string or even empty page. How do you suspect, how much of them will slip away and will never browse again? Well, maybe some of them will do another attempt. But anyway, people would rather make their purchases on the reliable and secure websites. Whenever you are running any sort of network business, you need to be sure, your clients can reach your website and get data, services, or products they are looking for. Any particular failure leads to loss of clients that, in its turn, means loss of business.
You can say that it is life, everything happens, and you can’t entirely avoid downtimes. That is partly true. You can not totally avoid them, but you can for sure minimize them! The sooner you get info about the error, the earlier you can take some action to resolve it. Call your hosting provider, restart some network services, etc.
With this aim in view, you may wish to use ProtoMon. It’s a server monitoring software intended to automatically load your network, servers and website in a specified intervals and instantly report you if some problems happened. It needs just a few moments to download, install, configure, and start using this network monitoring software.
You are able to use the monitors of the different kinds to control every aspect of your website. As a first step you can create a ping monitor. This permits you to be sure that the host network computer is working. Website monitor (HTTP monitor) can connect to the website, download any web page and even check its content with the powerful filters with the support of the logical expressions. By the way, ProtoMon is able to make use of the proxy server, and connect to the password protected zones of the website. Also you may wish to control your network using the FTP, FTPS and SFTP monitors. And check your mail server (POP3 monitor, SMTP monitor) to be sure that you can get e-mail letters from your visitors and they can receive your answers.
ProtoMon can launch the scripts on your network server using the Telnet or SSH monitors, then receive and parse their output. This enables you to monitor almost every parameter of your network including the CPU load, memory usage and so on.
If any error happened, the monitoring software will let you know by showing the pop-up message, playing the sound file, launching any application or URL, or sending a notification email letter to the desired recipients.
