Sentry-go Monitoring Components |
|
|
|
|
|
The Sentry-go Monitoring
System provides it's monitoring
functionality through one or more components which are installed into it's
framework.
With Sentry-go Quick Monitors,
these components are built-in - though you can expand them by including
additional Plus! components. With Sentry-go Plus!, you're free to add a single,
or any combination of components you like.
Components are easily added
by entering the appropriate licence keys into the Client Console's Licence Manager. The same Console
allows you to centrally manage & configure each component, either
locally on the server or remotely from your desktop.
As your server grows or changes, so
can Sentry-go - just plug & play additional components or
transfer them to another server.
It really is as simple as that!

Choosing Monitoring Components |
If your server's running a dedicated environment, you can quickly & easily
be up and running using one of our Quick Monitor solutions. These come
pre-configured & mean you can be monitoring in a matter of minutes.
Alternatively, you can combine any number of the following Sentry-go Plus!
components, allowing you to tailor the solution to meet your exact needs.
|
 |
Network Status
(free!) |
Check the accessibility of servers & TCP/IP devices across the network. |
 |
Available Disk Space |
Periodically check the available disk space on your server's disk drives. |
 |
System Performance |
Keep an eye on software & hardware performance, measuring against known
thresholds etc.
|
 |
Windows Services |
Check that important Windows services are running. Restart them automatically if
they fail. |
 |
Windows Processes |
Ensure key processes are running on your server; ensure unwanted programs are
not.
|
 |
Event Logs & Log Files |
Automatically monitor messages written to Event Logs & text-based log files.
|
 |
Printers & Queues |
Monitor local printers, print queues and print jobs.
|
 |
Files & Directories |
Automatically monitor changes to directories and files. |
 |
FTP Availability |
Ensure access is available to key sites, files can be sent to and copied from
the server 24 x 7 using FTP. |
 |
HTML Content & Availability |
Automatically ensure access to your web sites & key web pages is available 24 x
724/7 using HTTP and HTTPS.
|
 |
TCP/IP Ports |
Check that TCP/IP connectivity is available to key network & internet services
on the local server. |
 |
E-mail send & receive |
Automatically check that e-mails can be sent from and received by your
organisation using SMTP, POP3 and IMAP4, 24 x 7. |
 |
Database Query |
Periodically check that key database connections can be established, run SQL
queries and optionally check their result etc. |
 |
SQL Server Locking |
Ensure SQL Server locking (blocking) is kept to a minimum, record problem
queries, optionally terminating problem connections etc.
|
 |
Scripted Monitoring |
For the ultimate in flexibility, plug in your own
custom monitoring (scripts, commands, 3rd party utilities etc.) & have Sentry-go manage, run & analyse the results! |

|
Adding or Transferring Monitoring Components |
Using Plus! components, you activate your required monitoring options when
they're installed. As your environment grows or changes, you may find you wish to
move these components to another server or maybe add monitoring to your existing
solution. For example, if you subsequently install SQL Server on your machine &
wish to monitor locks, log files or database connections etc.
Individual Plus! licences, or the entire Quick Monitor licence can be assigned or transferred using the
Sentry-go Client Console at any time, allowing your monitoring
solution to evolve along with your environment. You can ...
-
Add new licences to an existing Quick Monitor installation to expand its monitoring
capabilities.
-
Add new licences to other Sentry-go Plus! components, to expand your tailored
monitoring solution.
-
Remove a licence so it can be used on another server.
