Hey there! I'm happy to say PortSensor has now fully scratched the itch we felt while using our previous server monitoring tools over here at WebGroup Media. I'll be honest, there was a dark period in the history of our company where the majority of server issues were being brought up by customers before we even noticed them. It wasn't negligence, we just always have more R&D projects going

Hot off of the heels of our PortSensor 2 release we've added even more features and enhancements. For those of you already using PortSensor you can update from within PortSensor itself by going to "Help"=> "Software Updates" => "Check for Updates". To try a fresh install you can find the download at http://www.portsensor.com/download.php . Here's an overview of what's new: * Rule Operators

What's New in PortSensor 2.0 At a glance: * Multiple Notifications per Event * Nested Alerts * Sensor Run/Schedule Optimization * SSH Delegate * MacOSX (x86) Support The major focus of PortSensor 2.0 was to add more flexibility to the alarm system. You can now nest alarm rules and configure multiple actions to respond with at any point. That means you can now do a lot of interesting things,

When you first launched PortSensor you may have wondered, "How do I monitor server load?". It's a good question, and the answer isn't very obvious from staring at the bewildering simplicity of a fresh copy of PortSensor. PortSensor has an enormous amount of power and flexibility hidden behind a few simple tools -- primarily the biggest product-defining feature we have: SSH Sensors. A couple of

Someday soon we plan to implement a 'Discovery Mode' ability where PortSensor can automatically detect servers and configure detected services. That will save a lot of hassle when configuring the a monitoring file for the first time. Until that day comes, however, it's useful to know some shortcuts in creating a bunch of similar sensors across several servers. For this example let's assume: We
