Soon we will introduce advanced Internet monitor (web transaction monitor) for end-to-end web application monitoring that allows to record and replay user interaction with web application, for instance, typical session of an online shop visitor. This monitor helps companies that use web applications in their day-to-day activity or even as a base of their business to be aware when a problem with a web application performance or availability arise.

IPHost Network Monitor has native support for monitoring Oracle, MySQL and MS SQL Server databases in addition to monitoring databases using ODBC. In total, IPHost Network Monitor includes some 20 monitor types, among them: mail monitors (SMTP, IMAP, POP3), TCP, UDP, FTP, file size and availability, disc space, service availability monitors. If your environment requires some specific monitoring you can create a custom monitor (script or program) or we can create monitor for your requirements. You can also use Nagios (popular open source network monitoring system) plug-ins in our monitoring tool, currently there are about 1500 plug-ins available, so you can be sure that IPHost Network Monitor can cover the vast majority of your company needs related to network and server monitoring and management.

Some other IPHost Network Monitor capabilities highlight:
- A developed alerting system with e-mail, SMS and instant messengers’ (Jabberm, ICQ, AOL) notifications. In order to reduce downtime support for automation of recovery actions can be implemented.
- Quick discovery of IP-based network services on devices in your network and automatic start of monitoring with thoroughly devised settings for each monitor. It helps you to start monitoring in a few minutes and to complete monitoring configuration in a matter of hours not days thus saving administrator time.
- Two usable user interfaces: a Windows interface for managing monitoring configuration and review of basic reports and graphs, and a Web interface that shows various reports and graphs for in-depth analysis of the monitoring results. With just one quick look, the administrator or business owner can get an overview of the status of systems and applications in their network from any web-enabled device. The tree views that group monitors (by host, by monitor type, by current monitor state, favorite monitors) make it easy to locate a problem or navigate through reports.
