Today the role of the web server is becoming ever more important - both internally for your users and externally for existing and potentially new customers. The latter is especially important when competition in the market place means that a customer can go elsewhere. And if they do, will they ever return ? Ensuring your web service is available and running efficiently therefore is of key importance.
 
Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) runs as a software service on the Windows platform. To ensure optimum performance, it is normally recommended that you regularly monitor the following features of the server ...

• Is the IIS Web Server & related services running ?

• Can you access your primary web pages ?

• Are the correct page(s) returned ?

• Are the web sites performing correctly ?

• Are they being asked to perform within expected limits ?

• Are the appropriate services (HTTP, FTP etc.) listening for inbound requests ?

• Do the web sites have enough disk space ?

• Are the web sites performing correctly ?

• Are they being asked to perform within expected limits ?

• Are the appropriate services (HTTP, FTP etc.) listening for inbound requests ?

• Are errors being written to the Windows Event Log ?

• Are errors being written to the IIS log file ?

By automating the above checks, you can quickly and easily save both time and money. And with Sentry-go Quick Monitors, you can be up and running in minutes!
