Implementing the website monitoring activities for your company website
How much time ago was you monitoring your website (and also servers and network)? Are you scheduling your website monitoring tasks in any way? Are you sure your website is servicing at this moment? Now I forespeak that you are executing your web-browser, entering the URL and monitoring if it’s still present. Looks like the things are good… Well may it be the web-page is just found in the Opera cache? One more complete refresh… Phew, lucky for now! But are you sure it was up yesterday, two weeks ago, or past month? Every hosting provider will grant you a 99.9% uptime. Well, I bet you would like to know this for sure.
Imagine that your prospective clients entering your website but it’s accidentally not responding. They look at strange error text or even blank page. How do you think, how many of customers will depart and will never browse again? Well, maybe some of them will try again later. But anyway, people prefer to do their purchases on the stable and secure servers. When you are running any type of web-oriented business, you better be sure, your customers can reach your server and receive data, stuff, or products they are need. Any unnoticed fail leads to loss of clients that, in its turn, means loss of business.
Someone may tell that it is life, downtimes happens, and you can not completely avoid them. That is partly true. You can’t totally avoid them, but you can for certain minimize them! The sooner you notified about any issue, the earlier you will be able to take some action and resolve it. Email your website provider, review some network services, etc.
With this aim in view, you may want to try ProtoMon.

Besides, the program can make use of the proxy server, and connect to the secured zones of the website. Also you may wish to monitor your network using the FTP, FTPS and SFTP monitors. And check your mail server (POP3 monitor, SMTP monitor) to be sure that you can get mail letters from your clients and they do receive answers from you.
ProtoMon can launch the scripts on your network server using the Telnet or SSH monitors, then capture and analyze their output. This permits you to monitor almost each parameter of your network including the CPU load, memory usage and much more.
