Moniterz ReadMe

Moniterz is a web site monitoring tool. Moniterz test your web sites to insure
that your web sites are available 24/7. As soon as an error is detected,
Moniterz notifies your by a loud siren sound. Additionally Moniterz reports
the current status by an icon in the system tray. The green icon means that all
your sites works properly, the red icon means that some of your sites are
unreachable.

To add site, use the "Add Page" form. Enter the URL in the
"http://your-domain.com/path/to/important/page.html"; format and click "Add".
The page will appear in the "List of Pages" list. You will see the current
status of the page and the last time when the status was changed.

In the LTD version, you may add up to 2 pages. In the STD and PRO versions,
you may add unlimited number of pages.

Click the link "Delete" to delete the page from the list of monitored pages.
Click the link "Details" to see more details about the page.

In the details page, you will see some additional information including average
response time for last hour, day, week and month, and the history of status
changes. Here you may also change the URL of the page.

Take a look to the left panel of Moniterz. You may adjust many parameters using
the "Configuration" form. You may increase or decrease monitoring frequency
(parameter "Check period", frequency ranges from 1 minute to 30 minutes). You
may turn the siren sound off if you found it annoying (parameter "Warning
Sound", values: "On", "Off"). Moniterz provides additional false alarm
protection. If you set the number of retries (possible values: None, 1-5
retries) to any value except None, it will check your site the specified number
of times before reporting an error. Set the parameters and click "Update" to
apply them.

Moniterz PRO provides some advanced features.

When you add a page, you may specify the list of required words and phrases
that should appear on the page. Additionally you may specify the list of
inadmissible words and phrases that should not appear on the page. It may be
useful in many cases. For example if your site a high-powered PHP portal and
sometimes the script fails to connect to the MySQL database, you may add the
phrase "mysql_connect(): Can't connect to MySQL server" to the list of
inadmissible phrases. After that you will be able to detect subtle PHP and
MySQL errors which are not detected by traditional monitoring services.

Also Moniterz PRO allows you to moniters file (FTP) and mail (SMTP and POP3)
services. Use the "Add Domain" form to begin monitoring services. Enter the
domain of your server in the "your-domain.com" format, select the services to
monitor and click "Add". The server will appear in the "List of Domains" list.
You will see the the currest status of the selected services and the time
when the status was changed. Additional information, such as "Response Time"
and "Status History" is available by the "Details" link.
