It is network monitoring tools from Dotcom Monitor. I’m sure that almost of us someday realize that monitoring service can be really very important and helpful way to be online or back online in time. Inspite of hosters’ declaration that they provide 99% uptime it is not adsolute true. Approximately 4 day in a year server is down and your business can lose your potential clients.

So why i do recommend network monitoring service from Dotcom Monitor? You know, i have tested Zenoss open source network monitoring software to monitor my VPS before. Yes, that software is superb one but you have to have an experience to set it up, some administrative skills should be very useful. But when i came across Dotcom Monitor i found a very powerful, flexible and stable service to monitor my network without experienced network knowledge.

And they offer:

  1. Video Streaming Monitoring
  2. E-Mail Servers (SMTP/POP3)
  3. Domain name servers (DNS)
  4. File Transfer Protocol (FTP) Servers
  5. Telnet (Port Availability)
  6. Ping (ICMP) — Routers/Firewalls
  7. UDP
  8. Web Service (SOAP/HTTP)
  9. Media Streaming (Video and Audio)
  10. DNS Blacklist Monitoring

Copy the following code into any text editor. Then save it with .reg extension. You can name it as you want. Now run your .reg file. Then go http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/downloads/FAQ.aspx and click “Validate Windows”. That is it :) 

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WPAEvents]

  0a,0a,ce,0d,b8,27,4a,46,53,f3,17

The trick consists basically in creating a “.reg” file with some code.

In most cases their choices stop on editor wich supports software language syntax and has features to work with this syntax.

I would recommend Notepad ++ Inspite of its simple name this editor is very powerful. Notepad++ supports highlighting for many software languages . Main are: C++, Java, PHP, Perl, Python, ASP, HTML, CSS.

Inside options you can change scheme color as you wish. Inside TextFX menue you can find something useful for you, there is UTF-8 support and Linux to mac convertion. You can also orginize tabs, add many plugins and etc.

I set up website monitoring for my domain from different network monitoring providers. Then i switched my server for 2 hours… And what i got? I will not mention here exact monitoring tools but i can say that only network monitoring tool from Dotcom Monitor gave me the maximum exact report. And while others can sent only emails or sms, Dotcom Monitor rang me by phone to notify that my server was down. No comments more…
