GFI Network Server Monitor Introduction • 5
Built-in checks for SNMP (Simple Network Management
Protocol)
• SNMP function – Monitors specified variables on remote
computers or devices via the SNMP GET message.
Built-in checks for Linux/Unix OS
• Generic Secure Shell (SSH) check – Allows you to create custom
monitor functions which can be remotely executed on Unix/Linux
based computers through the Secure Shell (SSH) service running
on that computer.
• File existence function – Checks for the existence of a particular
file on Linux/Unix based computers; e.g. results of scheduled
batch jobs.
• CPU usage function – Checks and restricts processor usage on
Linux/Unix based target computers.
• Directory size function – Checks and restricts the size of a
specified directory on Linux/Unix based target computers.
• File size function – Checks and restricts the size of a specified file
on Linux/Unix based target computers.
• Printer availability function – Checks the status of network printers
connected to Linux/Unix based target computers.
• Process running function – Checks if a specified process is
running on Linux/Unix based target computers.
• Users and Groups Membership function – Monitors user groups on
Linux/Unix based target computers against unauthorized users.
• Disk Partition Check – Checks the state of mounted drives on
Linux/Unix based target computers.
• Disk space function – Checks and restricts the available hard disk
space on Linux/Unix based target computers.
• Daemons function – Checks the state of a particular daemon on
target computers running a Linux/Unix OS.
Take corrective action automatically
When an important event (e.g., check failure) occurs, GFI Network
Server Monitor can attempt to correct a problem by restarting a failed
service, reboot a target computer/server or launch an executable,
batch or VBScript file.
Monitor processes, services & CPU usage
GFI Network Server Monitor enables you to check for critical
processes and services running on local and remote computers. You
can also monitor the CPU usage of a computer to ensure that
applications are running properly.
Build custom network monitor checks using scripts
Although GFI Network Server Monitor includes an extensive set of
default monitoring functions, you can build your own custom checks
using a scripting language such as VBscript or shell scripts for Unix
environments. SSH (Secure Shell) is used for remote connections to
