Do you have the experience that your system settings are changed unwillingly? Some unwanted changes are dangerous for us, but when we find them the losing has come into being. Frustrated by mysterious PC crashes, freezes and slowdowns? Over 98% of PC problems are caused by clutter and faulty settings that are the result of everyday PC use. Does not there has an effective and safe way to avoid this happening again? Certainly not! The system monitor is an ideal solution for this question. With a system monitor we can prevent some intended or accidental changes to our system settings before they come into being unpredictable damage! Here I will commend an excellent network and system monitor to you. That is Alchemy Eye, which was published by Alchemy Lab. Below is the detailed introduction of it.

Alchemy Eye is a network and system management tool that continuously monitors server availability and performance. In the event of network errors, Alchemy Eye can alert the network administrator by cell phone or pager before problems get seriously out of hand. If a server goes down, Alchemy Eye automatically notifies the network administrator and writes a detailed log file. Alchemy Eye offers support for a variety of checks, including NT Event Log, SQL database, Disk space, file existence and a lot more. Of course it can also check the standard HTTP and Ping ports. Actions taken upon server failure also include the optional execution of custom VB scripts or programs, computer restarts and even database queries. The program supports scheduled maintenance, so we will not be alerted if the outage was scheduled.

Following are the key functions of Alchemy Eye, including:

1. Network Monitor - On any type of server, Alchemy Eye monitors server functions using a variety of protocols and services, including: ICMP; NT Event Log; HTTP(S)/FTP URL; Free Disk Space; NT Service State; Oracle Server; MS SQL Server; SQL query result; Monitoring any SQL server thru ODBC; External application execution; File existence; NetBIOS; SMTP/POP3; IPX/SPX; RAS Server; VBScript program; Telnet Server; NNTP Server; IMAP; BDE servers; LDAP; TCP / IP; Plugins and add-ons etc.

2. 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; Send messages to WinPopup application or Windows NT/2000/XP Messenger Service; Restart remote computers or services; Execute SQL scripts; Execute programs; Play sounds; Execute VBScript programs; Send SMS; Send messages to pager; Notify ICQ users; Fire plugin events and so on.

3. Free maintenance and support - The first version of this network monitoring tool was released in Dec 1999 and since that time the release new versions of the program every month. Once we become a customer all new releases and technical support are free forever!

4. Console separated from the monitor - Since version 9.3 of Alchemy Eye we 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 us, having the monitoring engine in one physical location, connect to it from almost everywhere (including the home computer) and check the status of our servers.

5. 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 our needs.

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

7. Network Scanner - Network Scanner is a useful feature that allows us to automatically add network devices to our server list and network map. It scans our 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 adding the detected devices to the existing server list and networking map. We can choose different protocols and services to check and specify the device type. Network Scanner is able to make easier the network administrator work in large networks.

In addition, Alchemy Eye provides a free trial for us but some functions of it are disabled. It is standalone software and does not need any extra software and hardware requirement.
