IPCheck Server Monitor

IPCheck Server Monitor, developed by Paessler AG, is a robust tool designed for reliable network and website monitoring. The latest version, 5.4.1.864, brings with it a comprehensive suite of features that cater to both small offices and large enterprises. This version also ensures enhanced monitoring capabilities through bug fixes and performance improvements.

The software's user-friendly interface comprises various executable files such as ipc4browse.exe, ipc4wingui.exe, ipcheck3.exe, IPCheckBrowse.exe, and IPCheckProbeConfig.exe, – all designed to streamline the monitoring process and provide extensive monitoring options.

IPCheck Server Monitor is compatible with Windows XP, 7, 8, 10, and 11, providing flexibility across different operating systems. Previous versions, namely 5.4, 5.3, and 5.2, have laid the groundwork for the current release, ensuring a stable and reliable performance for all Internet & Network management needs, specifically falling under the Network Tools subcategory.

This program utilizes Paessler's proven IPCheck technology, which has been continuously refined since 1997. It includes various sensor types like PING, PORT, HTTP, HTTPS, DNS, SMTP, POP3, FTP, SNMP, as well as native Windows system sensors and native SQL sensors for MS SQL, MySQL, and Oracle. Furthermore, network management can be customized to notify users about server uptime, downtime, webpage changes, or slow responses.

Users can receive alerts via email, network broadcast (net send), ICQ, SMS, or pager, ensuring they are always informed about the network status. While the free version supports up to 5 sensors and has a minimum monitoring interval of 15 minutes, there is an option to upgrade by requesting a free 30-day trial license or purchasing a full license for more extensive monitoring needs.

The latest version addresses several bug fixes to enhance functionality. WMI Sensors now support 64-bit result values, and there have been improvements in handling repeated 'DOWN ESCALATION' notifications. Additionally, the writing of monitoring data to the disk is now optimized to minimize delays, while new dbExpress libraries improve SQL sensor's compatibility with Vista.
