Inventory network equipment (switches, printers, etc)

Asset Tracker inventories not only Windows computers, but also network equipment, such as routers, switches or network printers! After the inventory process will be completed, you will be able to view devices information, build consolidated reports and export device inventory information

Exports inventory information

Asset Tracker for Networks will export collected inventory information to various information storages, including any ODBC-compatible database, "Comma-separated values" (CSV) files, Microsoft Excel spreadsheet and so on.

* HTTP(S)/FTP URL internet monitor (with or without contents filters)
* Free Disk Space hardware monitor
* NT Service State server monitor
* Oracle Server network monitor
* MS SQL Server monitor
* SQL query result monitor
* Monitoring any SQL server thru ODBC
* External application execution system monitor
* File existence file monitor
* NetBIOS LAN monitor
* SMTP/POP3 mail server monitor
* IPX/SPX file server monitor
* RAS Server dial-up monitor

Network administrator alerts

Alchemy Eye automatically notifies the Network Administrator about server malfunction events. In the case of a network failure this network monitor can:

* Send email alerts [info]
* Send messages to WinPopup application or Windows NT/2000/XP Messenger Service [info]
* Restart remote computers or services [info]
* Execute SQL scripts [info]
* Execute programs [info]
* Play sounds [info]
* Execute VBScript programs [info]
* Send SMS
* Send messages to pager
* Notify ICQ users
* Fire plugin events

These timely alerts help to minimize network downtime and keep small problems from snowballing into serious, debilitating network issues. If the function list above does not contain the alert type you need, please check out the program's plugins section.

Console separated from the monitor

Since version 9.3 the you can run the program console (graphical front end) and monitoring engine (faceless back end) on different computers, connecting console to the monitoring engine thru Internet or TCP/IP-enabled network. This allows you, having the monitoring engine in one physical location, connect to it from almost everywhere (including the home computer) and check the status of your servers.

Configurable log files

Alchemy Eye network monitor can log application events to a log file. Different log file detail levels (none/normal/full) and log file formats (text or HTML) can be configured to suit your needs.

Server availability reports

With Alchemy Eye you can build server availability reports showing how long your servers were unavailable, what network errors occured during the monitoring and much, much more. Moreover, with the new version of the network monitor program you can create your own statistics reports or order new reports from Alchemy Lab!

Network Scanner

Network Scanner is a useful feature that allows you to automatically add network devices to your server list and network map. It scans your network hosts in specified IP address range using different protocols and services, such as ICMP, SNMP, SMB, HTTP, FTP, Telnet and others. Based on the scanned data, this utility detects type of the device (server, workstation, switch, router etc.) and suggests to add the detected devices to the existing server list and network map. You can choose different protocols and services to check and specify the device type. Network Scanner is able to make easier the network administrator's work in large networks.
