About WatchTower 2.4 Network operations experts at CITTIO designed WatchTower to simplify network management, while delivering the most cost-effective, easy-to-use enterprise monitoring software on the market. WatchTower 2.4 tracks system operations using Simple Network Monitoring Protocol (SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) A widely used network monitoring and control protocol. Data are passed from SNMP agents, which are hardware and/or software processes reporting activity in each network device (hub, router, bridge, etc. ) to monitor network devices, software applications, database servers, and more. This feature queries vital statistics and receives traps from remote servers and devices. Users can send emails or pager alerts, and can configure automated responses to system alerts. WatchTower 2.4 is easy to deploy and maintain. It does not require months of training, customization, and system integration, lowering the overall cost of managing and maintaining an IT infrastructure. Among other features, WatchTower 2.4 offers a new user interface that meets the needs of system administrators and network managers, as well as automatic latency monitoring, graphing, and thresholding for quick response. Specifically, the new version includes: Latency monitoring: WatchTower 2.4 pollers now collect response times from each node and all services on a given node. Response-time data is automatically graphed and thresholds can be set if an application is not responding within configurable time parameters. Administrators can view server, switch, port, or application response times and be notified of anomalies. Real-time monitoring: A new real-time session monitor for Microsoft Windows See Windows. (operating system) Microsoft Windows - Microsoft's proprietary window system and user interface software released in 1985 to run on top of MS-DOS. Widely criticised for being too slow (hence "Windoze", "Microsloth Windows") on the machines available then. (R) servers allows system administrators to see all current sessions on any server. The interface monitor displays traffic in Mbps and bps, and displays data transfer in megabytes and bytes -- allowing users to view the amount of data and percentage of network use on any port or network card. Configurable polling engine: Individual pollers and groups of nodes can be configured for different levels of polling sensitivity, providing granular device polling that can be tuned to different locations or components on the network. WatchTower uses a less sensitive polling configuration for older, slower equipment, avoiding "one-size-fits-all" polling configurations. Advanced reports: Three new standard reports have been added including an IP address report, an asset report and a notification report. These reports allow users to quickly list, locate, and identify assets on a network. Enterprise-class performance: WatchTower 2.4 includes significant improvements to SNMP data collection, allowing a WatchTower system to collect many more SNMP variables without requiring additional hardware.
