Reliable, lightweight system monitoring.
Continuously monitor network pings, running system processes, Windows services, and remote targets.
Receive SMTP email alerts when targets go offline. Configure daily suppression windows (quiet hours) and 60-minute cooldowns to prevent inbox spam.
Settings are managed via a JSON configuration file (appsettings.json) that reloads on the fly. The service automatically detects changes and triggers an immediate check cycle without requiring a restart.
The desktop client connects to the service via TCP. It features a system tray icon that flashes red when alerts are active, ensuring you never miss a critical failure.
Need to perform maintenance? Easily mute all desktop notification alerts and icon flashing for 30 minutes directly from the tray menu.
Local desktop clients can issue secure commands to manually stop, start, or kill monitored services and processes directly from the dashboard.
