What M@RS Monitors


M@RS can monitor any device or server connected to your network 24/7. 
 
It's not vendor specific so it can monitor both Microsoft and Unix/Linux based systems and applications running on them. Could your network benefit from the examples below?
'*' indicates Premium Monitor only.
  
Event Log Monitors
      • Application event log
      • Security event log
      • System event log
      • Directory Service event log *
      • DNS Server event log *
      • File Replication event log *
 
Back-ups are vital to any business but remembering to see a 'success' message every day is easy to overlook.  M@RS will only let you know when a back-up hasn't been successful and you can take action before the problem gets serious.
 
If a sensitive document or directory is accessed (or access is attempted), M@RS can let you know – keeping your sensitive business intelligence secure.
 
Performance Monitors
      • CPU
      • Drive
      • Memory
      • NIC *
      • .NET *
      • Print Queue etc. *
 
Microsoft recommends that a maximum of 75% of available drive space is used for Exchange or SQL log files – going over that threshold will mean taking the server down to truncate them.  With M@RS, you can schedule this without affecting the smooth running of the business.
 
Are Sales or Customer Service hampered by 'the network running slowly'?  M@RS will alert you to performance problems to help your business operate more efficiently.
  
System Monitors
      • File / Folder
      • Service
 
If your server anti-virus definitions aren't up to date, you run the risk of infection – M@RS will let you know if your virus signature files haven't updated recently.
 
If your fax or print spool queues have stopped they may try to restart – if they can't, M@RS will let you know.
 
TCP / UDP / ICMP Monitors
      • TCP FTP                                   
      • TCP HTTP                                
      • TCP NNTP *                              
      • ICMP PING
      • TCP POP3
      • TCP SMTP
      • TCP TELNET *
      • Custom TCP / UPD Monitor *
 
M@RS will check that your web site is working properly – and is processing orders.
 
M@RS will constantly check that your email is working – both internally and externally by interrogating both your mail server and your ISP.
 
Devices Monitoring using SNMP & Syslog
      • Link Up/Down
      • CPU
      • Memory
      • Swap *
      • Processes *
 
If a VPN tunnel fails to renegotiate, you will have connection problems.  With M@RS, you'll know that the connection is going to 'time out' before it does, giving you time to solve the problem.
