Alchemy Eye Network Monitor

Alchemy Eye, is a premiere Windows server monitoring software. This plug-in supported network management tool continuously detects server availability and will alert the Network Administrator by cell phone, pager, ICQ or e-mail BEFORE a server goes down, preventing costly repairs.

Alchemy Eye monitors servers, file servers, services, devices, accesses and processes in networks of all sizes from small LAN to large scale WAN, and contains a DNS server monitor, file monitor, file server monitor and a bandwidth monitor. It writes monitoring logs, allows the Network Administrator to build network performance reports and can be configured to send various alerts to the Network Administrator whenever it detects specified conditions.

Although this computer monitoring software works on Windows machines, it can monitor all types of servers, including NT, Apache, Netscape, Solaris and IBM. It does this by tracking the standard protocols and services such as, TCP/IP, ICMP (ping), IPX/SPX, NetBIOS, SMTP, POP3, HTTP(S), FTP, etc.

With Alchemy Eye network monitoring software, you can supervise the outputs from Oracle Servers, MS SQL Server, RAS Server and practically any other type of database server. Among the many factors it logs are: free disk space, file creation, NT Events, NT service states and SQL query results.

It can execute external applications, run custom VBScript programs and make use of various third-party plug-ins and add-ons.

In the event of server failure, Alchemy Eye automatically notifies the network administrator and logs a fully detailed report that makes debugging a cinch.

All Windows operating systems are supported: Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000 and XP. Disk space needed is 2MB with additional space for the log files. Download file size is 3 MB.
