i thought people might be interested in this of course, I am building my performance monitoring tools some of you know i what think of the current products http://www.codeplex.com/polymon PolyMon is an open source system monitoring solution that can be used to generate email alerts and analyze historical trends of monitor counters and monitor statuses It is made up of three primary components: A SQL Server database to store monitor statuses, alerts and general settings. Email notifications are handled by a stored procedure in the database itself. A windows service (PolyMon Executive) that runs monitors on a periodic basis and logs results to the database A management/monitoring front-end (PolyMon Manager) that is used to manage general settings, monitor definitions, operators, alert rules, etc. and analyze historical trends (both monitor counters and statuses). Currently included monitors are: Ping Performance Monitor SNMP URL File (Age and Counts) Windows Service SQL Monitor (Can run any stored procedure that returns resultsets in a specific format) TCP Port Monitor
How the email notifications are handled, is it by SMTP?
