- Disk Space Check:
We monitor the size of your hard drive. Automated disk clean-up tasks prevent your hard drive space from being filled up with unnecessary data.

- Drive Space Consumption Check: 
We monitor when the data on a disk has grown by more than X% in the past 24 hours. This may be an indication of something amiss on your system. It will automatically be researched and you will be informed of the cause.   

- Event Logs Check:
The Event Logs are repositories of information that have detailed data on the status of the system written to them by applications and Windows components. We monitor the Event Logs on your machine based on the following indicators Event ID, Event Type, Event Source and Description. We monitor the Event Logs of your device for warnings and errors detecting growing problems and highlighting the need for further Investigation. With your approval, these warning and errors can be resolved. ***

- Critical Events Check:
We monitor the event logs of your system looking for the 10 most frequent warnings and errors during the past 24-hours detecting growing. Problems and highlighting the need for further investigation. With your approval, these warning and errors can be resolved. ***


- Hacker Check:       
We monitor failed login attempts to identify hacker attacks. If hacker attacks are detected, you will be informed and given advice to take better precaution and to increase your security measures.

- Physical Disk Check:
We monitor when any attached disk is reporting errors. If a disk is reporting error you will be informed so that you can have it replaced as soon as possible before it causes data corruption of loss of data.*** The however only works with SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) disks which reports errors to the operating system and alerts you.


- File Size Check:
When files and folders grow unbounded in size, this can often be an early indicator of a problem on a system, for example a Microsoft SQL Server log file can easily grow to fill the entire disk. Similarly, if a file or folder is below an expected size then this can also indicate a problem, for example if an application has not written to its log file because it failed to run. We can  monitor the size of a group of files, folders (and subfolders) detecting when the size of the group is greater or less than the specified threshold.


- Defragmentation:
We defragment selected drives to maximize disk space and prevent degradation in system performance.


- Clear Event Log:
We delete outdated entries in the selected Windows Event Logs to remove obsolete log entries and prevent slow writing to and reading from the event logs.

- Cleanup:
We maximize available drive space by removing unwanted temporary files and logs from your device.

The following files and logs can be removed – user temp file, user cookies, user java cache, user flash cache, user recent history, user terminal server cache, user IE history, system temp files, system log files, system IIS log files, user IE temp files, and user office recent history, etc


- Windows Services Checks:
Windows systems are underpinned by Windows Services - these services provide crucial functions to users, machines and applications network-wide. We monitor these services to ensure that they are functioning. Vital services can be automatically restarted if they stop.


- Heartbeat:
By monitoring your server we are able to determine if it is up and fully functioning. If no response has been received from your server within a given amount of time, you will be informed and with your approval we can proceed with troubleshooting and resolving. ***    


- Microsoft Exchange Check:
One of the most common problems with Microsoft Exchange Server is the Information Store growing too large to be easily administered on the partition. Keeping an eye on the Exchange Information Store is vital to the service running well and ensures you’ve space to work on it if required. We monitor the size of the Microsoft Exchange Server Information Store if your organization has an internal mail server and prevent it from reaching its maximum thus preventing system crashes and time-consuming recovery issues.


- Processor Queue Check:       
The Processor Queue Length is the number of threads that are ready but currently unable run on the processor due to another active thread.A bottleneck on the processor may be thought to occur where the number of threads in the queue is more than 2 times the number of processor cores over a continuous period.

We monitor your server’s processor queue length to determine the number of threads that are ready but currently unable to run on the processor due to another active thread. This helps us determine if your server’s processor is sufficient for the tasks it is intended to carry out.**

- Processor Utilization Check:
Processor Utilization is the percentage of time that the core/processor is actually occupied compared against the total time the core/processor is available for use. For example if the CPU is occupied for 45 seconds during a minute, its utilization for this period is 75%. To derive this figure the processors are polled every five seconds and where the average for any processor exceeds 70% (the default threshold) over the Agent cycle (5 or 15 minutes) an Alert is generated. We monitor all of the cores/processors in the server up to a maximum of four cores to see if they are being over utilized.

- Memory Usage Check:
We monitor the following aspects of your server’s memory.

Available memory:
is the sum of the following three internal memory lists: Standby list, Free list, and Zero list.
Unused pages of memory and pages of memory returned to the operating system when a process has either quit or its working set was reduced to comply with system resource requirements are placed on one of the above three lists.

Committed bytes:
is the demand for memory and may be thought of as the number of bytes that have been allocated to processes by the operating system has committed a RAM page frame or page slot in the pagefile to.


Pages per second (hard page faults only):
is where the system attempts to access a virtual memory page that is not currently the working set in the physical memory and has to be retrieved from the disk resulting in a delay.

Page file (percentage usage):contains memory pages used by a process that are not stored in physical RAM. The paging file can be resized to accommodate the additional memory requirements of the running processes and problems may occur where the systems paging file is inadequately sizes for the paging activity of the system.

Non-pageable memory:consists of memory that was allocated to processes which have either exited abnormally or have not returned the memory to the Operating System for reuse and memory in use by running processes. As such the operating system cannot swap such memory from physical RAM to the pagefile as it is in use.

- Script Check:         
We monitor that created scripts are running as they should.

- WSUS Check:
Microsoft’s Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) is a free patch management tool that enables system administrators to deploy Microsoft product updates across their organization from a centralisedWSUS server. source, the

The WSUS server synchronises with an update repository, either Microsoft Update or another WSUSi.e. Critical or Security Updates). server, to retrieve updates in accordance with the administrator specified product, product families and update types (
Once an update is selected it can be downloaded to the WSUS server and from there pushed out across the organization.
We monitor the WSUS database for the last synchronisation information along with the number of critical updates that have not yet installed successfully on all computers.

- PINGChecks:
We have an  easy and effective way of testing network device connectivity. This ensures that devices (internal or external) are responding to PING requests. We can monitor and test network device connectivity by configuring PING requests. If a device does not respond you will be informed.  With your approval we will proceed with troubleshooting and resolving.
  
The following PING requests can be created:
  • PING non-Windows Operating Systems devices such as Linux, Unix or Apple Mac to ensure they are reachable
  • Check to ensure Wide Area (WAN) Connections – e.g. internet connections are up, remote offices contactable
  • Check the availability of equipment within the local network – e.g. network devices, printers, routers etc.
  • Check web and email servers are live
  • Use it from their office server to regularly PING their customers to ensure they are connections are live.
- TCP Service Check:
We can monitor security risks and malfunctioning TCP/IP Services/applications, so you can spot developing problems on the network, and have them fixed before they become big disasters.

We can monitor the following:
  • Manage Security Risks on the Network for example that specific ports - like 25 (SMTP), 80 (HTTP), 3389 (RDP), 1723 (PPTP) - are open when they shouldn't be
  • Be alerted when the a mail server is not accepting connections
  • Be alerted when a web-server is not accepting connections
  • Be alerted when the a database server is not accepting connections
  • Ensure Network Services DNS, DHCP, Wins etc are up
  • Be alerted when required ports on non-Windows Operating Systems, for example Linux, Unix or Apple Mac, are not accepting connections
  • Be alerted when a SMTP gateway is not accepting connections
  • Be alerted when VPN services are no longer available
  • Be alerted when specific ports are open when they shouldn't be-

-Website Check:
We monitor if a specified website is online and is serving the expected text. We can do a continuous web page check to ensure that the specified text exists.  If it's not there, you will be informed that something's amiss with the site so that you can have it fixed as soon as possible.***


- Bandwidth Monitoring:

Understanding network bandwidth usage is a key factor in optimising network design for maximum efficiency and planning for its development. Therefore, we have developed Bandwidth Monitoring, which can be used to monitor any physical network interface (Ethernet, Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet) or virtual network interface on any SNMP managed device (switch, router, printer or even a server with appropriate SNMP software installed).

- Network Usage:

We monitor the network interface for high levels of networking activities. Programs accessing the internet, remote users, file or large print jobs may all use network bandwidth to complete their tasks. More destructive elements such as worms or viruses may also cause a high level of activity over the network. We total the number of bits transferred in either direction over a 5 second period and inform you if the average bits exceeds 40% of the current available bandwidth.

- Remote Support:

With our remote support tool we can connect to your device no matter where you are and provide you with experienced tech support.
