Agreed that downtime cannot be avoided, but it can be reduced by monitoring
network devices regularly. There are several tools and procedures, which can be
used for monitoring and up.time is one such server/client monitoring solution
supporting both agent and agentless monitoring.
It is easy to use and implement, and can monitor network devices through SNMP
(Simple network management protocol). It has support for Windows 2000/2003, AIX,
Linux, Solaris, AIX and FreeBSD 5.x for server monitoring, while for
workstations, it has support for Windows XP, Linux and Solaris. This tool can
monitor Application Servers, Host Services, Windows, Databases and Network
Services. For Application Server monitoring it has default monitors for Exchange
Server such as SMTP local queue length, SMTP bytes sent/received per second,
current SMTP inbound and outbound connections.

Likewise, for database monitoring the tool has support for MySQL, Oracle, SQL
Server and Sybase. It can monitor databases for various parameters such as Total
Transactions persec, Table Space usage, user connections etc. up.time also
supports SNMP monitoring and comes with SNMP MIB Browser and has default
monitors for IIS, WebLogic, WebSphere and ESX v3.
Whenever a failure occurs, up.time immediately sends an alert so you can
handle the problem effectively and resolve it instantly. The alert could be in
the form of an e-mail, SMS, a Windows pop-up message or you can even page it.
The automatic alert escalation system of this utility takes care of an alert
when not addressed within a particular instant of time. Moreover, you get the
liberty to create custom monitors for running custom scripts and generating
specific alerts. In addition, this utility also provides User Access Control,
which lets you create users and assign specific roles as well as access rights
to them.
