Features

What can ProtoMon do for you.

ProtoMon can survey the following kinds of the servers:

Web servers, using the HTTP or HTTPS protocols. It supports the GET, POST, and HEAD queries. ProtoMon can also use authentication, any proxy server with authorization, process redirects and check the destination URL, check the downloaded content using the powerful filters.
File servers, using the FTP, FTPS or SFTP protocols. The program can just connect to the server, or try to download a file and check its content.
E-mail servers, using the POP3, IMAP or SMTP protocols. ProtoMon supports the secure versions of all mail protocols. While checking the POP3 mailbox, it connects to the server and checks the messages count in there. If checking the IMAP server, the program is trying to receive the list of the IMAP folders. When checking an SMTP server, ProtoMon can try to send a test message on every monitor check.
Any other TCP-based server on any port.
Also ProtoMon can launch any console applications, batch scripts or single commands, grab their output and check it using the powerful boolean expression filters.

When a server is not responding, ProtoMon can do the following actions:

Show a pop-up notification window (see an example).
Play a sound.
Send a notification e-mail message.

ProtoMon stores complete statistics for every monitor, thus you can:

Get your servers checking time, uptime, downtime, minimum and maximum response times, and other values for any period you wish.
See the graphics representation of statistics on the intuitive chart with the support of zooming and panning, and descriptive hints.

ProtoMon can identify the Internet connection failures, thus you can:

Get separate statistics for servers downtime and the Internet connection problems.
Specify, whether you wish to trigger the alerts when Internet connection fails, or not.
Force ProtoMon to re-check the monitors more frequently if the Internet is not available.

You can review the ProtoMon status and monitoring statistics remotely:

Enable the built-in web server to access ProtoMon from any computer using your favorite web browser.
You can configure ProtoMon to periodically save its interface as the static web pages to the specified folder. So you can use an external web server (Apache, IIS, or any other) to access this data.

What our clients say about ProtoMon.

Scot A. Suits:

My organization needed to do more than monitor and alert servers and server hosted services via ICMP and SNMP. We needed the ability to monitor our state wide, public facing websites, auto-login to them, and then download content in order to ensure that the various web pages were up and functioning. This needed to be scheduled 24/7/365 with alerting via email and page.

I found numerous products on the market that could offer this for HTTP sites, but searched in vain for a similar product that also worked with ssl-enabled HTTPS sites at an affordable price. My organization didn't want to pay thousands of dollars for an all-encompassing network monitoring package just to obtain this capability. Thankfully Protomon does this well and at a very reasonable price. Their technical support is tremendous. I highly recommend the product and the folks behind it.
