IIS web server monitoring can quickly & easily be performed using the Sentry-go Quick IIS Web Server Monitor. With it, you can monitor your IIS Web Server environment, perform web site monitoring as well as availability monitoring. In addition to the underlying server, this web site monitoring software contains many other features including HTML content & ASP monitoring, web site availability & web page availability, FTP site monitoring & file availability, internet service (ports) access, and entries written to IIS log file & local  Event Logs. If problems are detected, it can either take automatic action, or alert you before end-users are affected. Using it's in-built web-based reporting, you also have immediate access to monitored information direct from your web browser.

 Monitoring Features

  
Monitor key services
 

 
Web service monitoring allows you to monitor key Windows, IIS & web related services running on the local server with ease. In addition, custom services can also be added, monitored & automatically restarted.
 

Ensure web site & web-page access is available
 

 
The web site monitor allows you to monitor the availability of key web pages on your server, checking that the correct page is delivered and returned in a timely manner. In effect, it acts like an automated web browser.
 

Ensure FTP site & remote file access is available
 

 
In the same way that the above check verifies web pages, the FTP server monitor automates an FTP client, allowing you to check that FTP access & operations are available in a timely manner.
 

Check TCP/IP Ports are available
 

 
The internet port monitor allows you to ensure that key or custom TCP/IP ports are listening for requests on the server -  e.g. HTTP, HTTPS, FTP access etc.
 
 

Verify IIS, ASP & Web Service Performance
 

 
Monitor your IIS Web server performance and ensure key performance parameters are within expected limits - e.g. no. ASP requests & sessions, ASP wait time, web connections, script errors, not found errors etc. Custom performance counters can also be added and monitored.
   

Monitor errors written to the Windows Event Log
 

 
Sentry-go allows you to monitor messages written to the Windows Event Logs based on error type, event ID, source or keywords & phrases within the text. 
 

Monitor messages written to the IIS Log File
 

 
This option allows you to monitor the primary IIS log file - which can be used to track page & file delivery, as well as HTTP errors returned in response to client requests - highlighting broken links etc. Other custom log files can also be monitored - see below.
  

Monitor messages written to custom log files
 

 
In addition to Event Logs, you can also monitor the entries written to text-based log files such as those used for custom applications, based on keywords or phrases within the text. 
  

Ensure sufficient disk space is available
 

 
To run efficiently, your Windows & Exchange server needs adequate free disk space. Sentry-go can check this for you, clearing down temporary files automatically if free space becomes limited.
