All and all, I have been a long term fan of the GFI line. So when I heard that there is a new version of Network Server Monitor, I thought that I had better bring it your attention. Totally a try before you buy situation, this software offers a lot for a reasonable price.

GFI Network Server Monitor automatically monitors specified networks and servers for failures and alerts the administrator via email, SMS, pager or Net Send message. In addition, it can automatically perform actions such as rebooting a machine, restarting a service or running a script. The program runs as a service and provides an administrative interface (client) that can be run from any machine on the network. Built-in monitoring rules include Exchange Server 2000/2003, MS SQL, Oracle and ODBC databases, CPU usage, FTP, HTTP, Active Directory, Disk Space, Event Log (with content checking) and many others. Advanced users can also write custom monitor functions in VBscript and leverage ADSI and WMI, allowing you to monitor virtually anything.
