Net Radar confirms registered devices IP connectivity by using a broadport 'ping'.
The Net Radar system has been designed to monitor servers/ip devices connected to a network (WAN/LAN/Internet) allowing an administrator to easily assess the integrity of the devices and their current connectivity. The diversion of the Net Radar system from other similar products lies in it's ability to handle the monitoring of a virtually unlimited quantity of IP addresses. Additionally access to the status of monitored servers/ip devices is easily accessible through the use of an Internet Browser, which removes the requirement of client software being installed on numerous workstations. Providing a web based enterprise solution.
Net Radar relies on a SQL Database store to hold all data relating to sites and administrators. All system configuration is performed through an Internet Browser (i.e. IE/Netscape) and single glance health checking is available in a real time display.
At the heart of the Net Radar solution lies the DRS Module (Daemon Radar System)[Screen Shot] which will poll the IP address of devices supplied at an user specified interval. In the event of a IP address being unreachable a email notification can be sent to either the Site Administrator or Local Site contact. These notifications are sent once daily for failed contacts once the site downtime parameter has been exceeded. It is also possible to connect directly to the DRS module via web browser by pointing to the DRS modules host machine and configured port (ie: http://daemonstation1:8000). From here the user is able to remotely configure the module and view the activity log of the daemon.
It is possible to run multiple DRS Modules through out a network on multiple stations when load balancing is required.
