SimMon is a versatile monitoring tool that is compatible with both Java and web-based platforms. It allows users to keep track of their system status efficiently.
SimMon is a versatile monitoring tool that functions seamlessly across multiple platforms, including Solaris, Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows-based systems. It has been designed to work flawlessly with Java 1.4.x or higher, making it compatible with a wide range of systems. Monitoring is done through the execution of existing monitoring scripts or even existing command line utilities while analyzing their results (regex/returncode). To support this, the tool comes equipped with default monitoring scripts based on Visual Basic Scripting for Windows and Perl-based for Solaris/Linux. However, users can add or develop their own monitoring scripts into the SimMon Agent System.
SimMon can also monitor SNMP (v1) devices by using its integrated SimMon SNMP Scheduler. Its agents run autonomously on the monitored systems, eliminating the need for a permanent connection between the SimMon agent and the GUI or other components of the SimMon architecture. In case of any issue, SimMon can take predefined actions like communicating problems via email or even by taking administrative actions such as restarting a service or process. The tool also includes wizard dialogs, making it easy for users to configure their SimMon environment.
Almost the complete configuration of SimMon takes place in XML, making it easy for users to copy and alter configurations directly in their configuration files. What's more, the free version of SimMon is not a demo version, but a fully functional version. It has everything that a user would need to monitor their system effectively. However, the Pro version of SimMon offers more functionalities to subscribers while still using the same technology as the freeware version. Overall, SimMon is an excellent monitoring tool that can handle all your system monitoring needs.
