Program Features To Monitor Network Status And Other Variables
You need to monitor network traffic and other factors because a failure in the system can have serious consequences, such as the possible degradation of customer relationships and the irrecoverable loss of data. A network manager or system administrator (aka “sysadmin”) is usually tasked in monitoring network factors to immediately detect failures or impending failures of network parts, including workstations, switches, servers, printers, and others. With the installation of a network monitor program, ay uptime hitch can be easily covered by the administrator. More technologically advanced software can even be utilized to give an extensive range of checks that will immediately send a message to the network manager in cases of failure in one of the network components.
The network monitor software can perform such checks through the use of TCP port checks, ICMP pings, SNMP, ARP, FTP, DNS, and HTTP protocol checks. This allows the administrator to monitor a wide range of network dvices and hosts since the program instantly transmits an email to the network administrator if a server, printer, or other device fails. Through this arrangement, IT pros would be able to act immediately and thus greatly reduce the down time.
The program monitoring network status is also a great aid in sensing malware such as computer viruses, Trojans, and even adware. This can be performed in a regular basis by monitoring the status of TCP ports that different applications usually depend on to run on their network computers and servers. Thus, if the software detects that one of these ports is open, it will send the manager an email or text message informing him of the incident. The sysadmin, as well, is able to watch over the network status to identify the processes that are being made on remote computers to find out if there are any dangerous programs installed.
A monitoring program like this may also be used for monitoring the kinds of applications that are being run by the different users. Thus, checks can be made to make sure that employees are not using non-productive software (such as media players and computer games) during office hours. One more possible applications of monitoring programs is that they can aid in watching over file sizes like the application logs and temp folders. Through the monitoring of either free space or the sizes of these files and folders, you reduce the risk of overcrowding the storage spaces for computers and servers.
The software used to monitor network conditions can also be used to check for any unauthorized users by keeping an eye on any MAC address modifications. The program can send a notification to the administrator in the form of an email message, a warning sound, a text message to his mobile phone, the display of a particular message on the screen, or the execution of certain JavaScript and Visual Basic scripts. It’s also possible to program the response of the software to certain events by shutting down or restarting a particular remote computer or service, or executing certain external programs.
