Spiff SMART Monitor & Spiff SMART Monitor Enterprise

http://spiffprime.com/smartmonitor/smartmonitor.aspx

Spiff SMART Monitor is an application that monitors a computer, its network and its hard drives for failure and pre-failure notices.
Standard version features
► .NET application, tested on XP, 2003 Server, Vista, and Windows 7.
► Simple to install, just enter the email address or addresses that emails will be sent to, SMART monitor will query the DNS server configured on any network adapter, and send an email directly to an email server for the email's domain. If reporting to an enterprise version, just enter the machine name of any enterprise instance, if there are multiple servers it should report to, it will discover them by itself.
► Monitor runs as a service, and will send email alerts if a user is logged in or not.
► If the graphical user interface is running, will alert with sound and visual indicators.
► Checks every 1 minute to 4 hours.
► Monitors CPU percentage available for any number of processors and cores.
► Monitors available RAM percentage.
► Monitors multiple thermal zones and raises alarms on their passive and critical trip points.
► Monitors multiple fans for their health status.
► Pings any connected network adapter gateways.
► Detects network media disconnection or failure.
► Monitors network bandwidth percentage available on connected adapters, bridges, and virtual devices.
► Monitors free disk space available.
► Ping additional IP addresses, check the loading of web site URLs, ensure that processes are running.
► Monitors S.M.A.R.T. disk drive attributes for multiple drives, alarms on drive manufaturer determined conditions. By definition, when a S.M.A.R.T. attribute goes into a Pre-Failure alarm, it indicates failure within 24 hours. If you don't monitor S.M.A.R.T. all the time you don't benefit from hard drive failure prediction built into your hard drives.
► Displays operating system version, 32 bit or 64 bit architecture, service pack and drive model and serial numbers.
Enterprise version features
► All the standard features, plus the following features.
► Monitors multiple machines, the standard version will report to the enterprise version.
► Monitors for complete failure or network failure of a machine that prevents the standard version from sending an alarm.
► Multiple enterprise versions can run at the same time to provide redundancy, the standard version will report to each of them independently.
► All versions will automatically discover which enterprise versions they should report to, by communicating with any single enterprise instance this allows Enterprise version topology to change without having to manually configure all the machines reporting to them.
► Enterprise versions will send emails from the service even if the user interface is not running.
► Enterprise versions can selectivly forward all history, advisory, or pre-failure alarms to another set of enterprise instances to consolidate reporting of several disconnected networks, divisions, or facilities.
► Can monitor a couple thousand machines before selective forwarding needs to be used.
► Single TCP socket used for communications.
All versions will communicate over IPv4 if available, or use IPv6 if IPv4 is not available.
► Enterprise versions can securely reboot remote machines, a machine will only accept a reboot command from a machine it reports to, and then will ask that machine to verify that it should reboot.
► Provides for WMI reporting from machines without having to open RPC on a machine's firewall.
