Kaseya Network Monitor comes in two editions. The Standard Edition supports a single network while the Distributed Edition can combine multiple networks together into a single view.

Kaseya Network Monitor includes the basics for monitoring all aspects of network connected devices beginning with the performance monitoring: Network bandwidth, CPU, disk, and memory utilization. On Windows platforms, both Windows performance registry counters and WMI queries are available.

The file and directory monitoring can monitor if a file exists, how many files there are in a directory, if the total content of a directory is growing or check if new files are added on a schedule.

Log monitoring can trigger notifications and other actions when a log message is encountered that matches a pre-defined filter. Windows event log, Linux/Unix syslog and text log files are supported.

Database monitoring includes support for monitoring Oracle, MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server and a generic ODBC monitor for use with other DBMS. All of the monitors can perform a SQL query as well as additional performance monitoring specific to each DBMS.

The SNMP trap monitor has advanced filtering capabilities and alarm conditions can be setup to respond to specific properties of the received trap. There is also the SNMP query monitor that can poll specified OID’s, perform a simple calculation, and compare the result with a specified value.

Mail Quality of Service monitor makes it possible to can test the ability of a mail server to send and receive mail. Statistics about round trip time, time to send and login time is stored.

Lua is a lightweight and easy to learn script language that is embedded into KNM. Using Lua and the KNM application programming interface customers can create their own monitoring and recovery functions. To make development efficient Kaseya provides a free Integrated Development Environment (IDE). Scripts can easily be exchanged between users on the Kaseya forums.

Actions

In addition to support for E-mail & SMS notifications, the product can also restart windows services, execute command via SSH, perform HTTP queries, send SNMP set messages and more. Additionally, Lua scripts can be executed in response to alarms and recovery.

Many of the actions available for alerting and recovery can also be scheduled to be executed on a single occasion or as repeating events.

Toplist

The toplist function delivers key metrics on all monitored resources in your network. The toplists can answer questions such as:

• What machines are using most CPU on average this month and how does it compare to last month?
• What machines have least disc left and how fast do the amount of free disc decline?
• What machines in the network transfer most data over the network during a day, week or month?

The numbers are crunched and updated in real-time as the monitors tests and can provide invaluable insights into your network.
