System Requirements

Operating System: Windows 2003, 2008, or 2008 R2 with the latest service pack

A Network Monitor object is a unique IP address. A monitor is a single test or metric of that object. For example, a Windows machine, represented by a single IP address, might have many monitors, with each monitor returning data about a different performance metric for that machine.

Minimum requirements
  • 1 GHz CPU
  • 2 GB memory
  • 5 GB free disk space (1)

Notes
1 Disk consumption is noted per year for a normal installation with the described number of objects and monitors
2 Kaseya recommends that Network Monitor be installed on a 1+0 Raid array with at least 4 GB of RAM for best possible report generation performance
3 Kaseya recommends that you run the Network Monitor installation on a dedicated machine.

Network Monitor comes with its own database.

You’ve adopted SaaS... but how do you know when those cloud based sites have gone down?

The Kaseya Website Monitor free tool allows you to watch your external and internal websites and be notified when they are down. As soon as the site is down or takes too long to respond, the Website Monitor can send notifications to your mobile device or on your laptop as alerts. Additionally, you can configure the response to take automatic actions such as rebooting computers or restarting services.

The Kaseya Website Monitor allows you to be more proactive in your monitoring of key system resources. Don’t wait for users to notify you that they can no longer get their job done because a system is down. By the time a user notifies you, many more people are affected by the outage. When you find out first, you can correct the problem quicker minimizing the number of affected users.
