Monitor is a special type of object that keeps track of a particular aspect of service operation, server health, or a file system. You create monitors, fine-tune them to meet your individual demands and run them, and they display the status of your network in real time.

If any parameter deviates from its normal state, the monitor executes the action set that is predefined by the user, e.g. plays a sound, sends a detailed description of the incident via e-mail or IM, reboots the remote PC, or launches an application.

The all-seeing eye

Total Network Monitor is linked to the outside world through sensors that provide TNM with all of the data for analysis. There is a variety of sensors for any occasion. Send a request for server monitoring via the network protocol, inspect a service, check the event log or Windows registry key value, find a string in a file on a remote computer, etc.: all of these tasks are a breeze for TNM.
