We use SolarWinds for doing this, but it isn't even in the same neighborhood as free. It does a great job though. Tim
From: Glen Johnson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, August 20, 2009 10:20 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Monitoring Maybe a silly question and I know this been discussed before but I can't remember or find is any product (preferably free and windows) that can do this. We would like to put a big, 42 or 50 inch monitor up on the wall in our office where everyone can see it. This monitor would show the output from some app that cycles through status pages for different systems, pausing a few seconds on each page. One page might show switches, green if they are ok, red if not reachable either via ping or snmp. Next page might show network printers. Next page wireless access points. Next page, servers. Routers... You get this idea. I'm looking at Servers Alive, not free and NetNMS free, but neither of them look like they can do exactly what I've described. Any suggestions? ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
