Sentry-go Alerting Features

Sentry-go monitors are designed to monitor your desktops and/or servers 24 hours a day. When an error is detected, for example a monitoring check fails, the value returned is outside of an expected limit, or an error is displayed on a monitored desktop, it may be important that action is taken as soon as possible.

On a server, the monitor can either take action itself automatically to resolve the fault, inform you as to the type and whereabouts of the problem, or both.  On a desktop, diagnostics are recorded at the time of failure and details can be automatically forwarded or saved as required. 

• Notify your mobile, cell phone or by SMS.
   
  Nowadays, many operators allow e-mails to be sent directly to your phone and this makes a great way to be informed of issues without needing to logon to a PC etc. With Sentry-go these e-mails can quickly & easily be configured.
   
• Write to an event log, file or database
   
  Recording information centrally allows you to handle or process them from a single source.
   
• Print or fax details (servers)
   
  For remote locations, you may wish to print or fax alert information automatically when a fault occurs. In conjunction with other applications such as Microsoft Fax Services, alerts can easily be sent direct from the server.
   
• Notify by SMS gateway or pager (servers)
   
  This option allows you be notified using a 3rd party gateway provider such as Bigfoot, ClickATell or Intellisoftware. You can also interface with other systems using SMTP or HTTP as rquired.
   
• Custom logic
   
  For thge ultimate in flexibility, monitors allow notifications be sent using your own custom scripts etc. With these you can either script the response yourself, use the Sentry-go Scripting Wizard, or visit our scripting library for examples etc.
