Anytime, Anywhere Access

24/7 server monitoring via iPhone/iPad Wi-Fi or cell connections. View performance charts, service status, alarm messages, and system messages from any location.

Alarm Alerts

Push notifications instantly alert administrators to alarms such as service failures, server overload, or critical system messages. Additional notifications can be sent by e-mail to other recipients.

Workload & Performance Monitoring

Charts display current and peak values for network throughput, CPU utilization, memory paging, jobs, and users. Monitoring history is maintained and can be viewed as timeline charts for Now, Day, Week, Month, Quarter, and Year.

Service Availability Monitoring

IT Monitor Server reports the status of services running on the server and across the network. Each service is defined by a name, verification interval, and optionally a remote host name and credentials. A quick glance at the iPhone shows the current status of every monitored service.

System Message Management

All system messages can be browsed with filtering and sorting options. Messages can be marked as Delete, Accept, or Resolved (with user and timestamp) so processed items are hidden from other administrators.

Custom Server Actions

Custom functionality can be added via CGI web pages (Apache-compatible) that run on the server and display on the iOS device. Sample Perl CGI scripts are included:

• Active users listing (users and uptime)
• Server process listing (similar to „top“)

HELIOS Base Benefits

IT Monitor Server leverages HELIOS Base for core technologies including server fail safety, Unicode support, advanced networking, and more.

API and Scripting for Customization

Custom service-monitoring protocols can be added by writing a simple script that is called periodically to check availability. Numerous sample scripts are supplied. Custom filter scripts for system messages allow selected messages to be ignored or elevated to server alarms.
Custom filter scripts for system messages allow ignoring messages or turning messages into server alarms.

Flexible Licensing Scheme

The server license is tied to a specific machine. IT Monitor Server is included in the HELIOS Universal File Server license.

Optional maintenance agreements (Software Upgrade Service Agreement and cold-spare licenses) are available.
