Monitor network devices and notify of problems via email, pager, web, logs

ipPulse is a Remote Status Monitoring Tool. Use ipPulse to monitor the up/down status of IP connected devices (nodes) on any IP connected network. ipPulse uses a variety of methods, including ping, tcp connects, and SNMP to poll and check the network connectivity of a list of user-defined nodes. ipPulse alerts you to failures using a variety of techniques ranging from audible messages to email and pager notification. Supports a large list of target hosts entered as either hostnames or IP addresses. The list can be imported from a text file. Polls the list on a cyclical basis with full control over the list cycle timing parameters. Supports a primary and secondary test. Supports standard Ping ICMP Echo Requests/Replies and automatically uses UDP High Port Ping under Winsock 2 for failed contacts. Primary test only. TCP Port numbers for TCP connect tests are assignable on a per-node basis. Primary or secondary test. Optionally uses SNMP v1 as a secondary test by requesting MIB2 OID interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifOperStatus for every interface found on the target node. Community names are assignable on a per-node basis. Optional SNMP queries can be made for obtaining more extensive data from the target host. ipPulse includes a number of OID presets and 12 user defined OIDs. Example: you can obtain MAC addresses for every interface from an SNMP enabled host. Multiple alerts and logging. Alert options include beeping your computer, playing a wave file, notifying someone by email, or paging someone using either standard numeric or TAP compatible alphanumeric pagers. Logging options include logging all test results to a text file, logging only errors to a text file, or logging errors to a dynamically created HTML page. Any combination of logging options can be used. Alerts are issued upon failures using user-defined criteria. Changes from a FAIL state to a PASS state can now generate email messages or pager messages.
