HostMonitor is a network monitoring tool that continuously monitors servers' availability and performance. In the event of network errors, HostMonitor will alert the network administrator (or even correct the problem when possible) before problems get seriously out of hand. This helps protect your company's data and reduces the likelihood of costly network failures.

Probably you will say "There are dozens of programs like this"? That is right! But please check what HostMonitor offers and compare its power and flexibility to surprisingly low price:

• over 150 test methods - HostMonitor can check almost any parameter of your servers;
• highly flexible action profiles allow you to start actions in predefined order depending on the test results;
• HostMonitor creates various log files using different detail levels and file formats (Text, HTML, DBF and ODBC);
• built-in Report Manager allows you to create and customize reports to your liking in a variety of ways;
• using Remote Monitoring Agents for Windows, FreeBSD, Linux, NetBSD, OpenBSD and Solaris you may easily monitor remote networks;
• Web Service, Telnet Service and Remote Control Console simplifies remote management;
• and this is not all...

In order to use HostMonitor (core of the package) your system must meet the following requirements:

Minimum system requirements

• Windows Server 2003 SP2
  Windows Server 2008 SP2
  Windows Server 2008 R2  SP1
  Windows Server 2012 R2 *
  Windows Server 2016
  Windows Server 2019

  Windows 8 *  SP1
  Windows 10
  Windows 11 **

• Internet Explorer 6

• Free disk space: 50 MB (if you install HostMonitor only)

• Minimum screen resolution: 1024 x 768

Recommended:

• Windows Server 2016, 2019, 2022

• Internet Explorer 11 or Microsoft Edge

• Disk space for all components: 150 MB(you may need more space for log files)

* Windows 2012 / Windows 8:

HostMonitor can run on Windows 8 Pro and Windows Server 2012 however we do not recommend these systems due to some problems in Windows API related to Event Logs (in case you need to use NT Event Log test method).

** Windows 11:

HostMonitor can run on Windows 11 but performance will be much lower in service mode

Windows x64:

• HostMonitor is 32-bit application, however it can be used on Windows x64 Edition running on x86-64 (AMD64) systems (not on Itanium/IA-64). E.g. you can start HostMonitor on Windows XP Professional x64 Edition or Windows Server 2019.

• If you are using Windows x64 Edition and you want to setup ODBC Logging or ODBC test method, you should setup ODBC datasources using 32-bit ODBC Data Source Administrator (e.g. C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe).
  
  

• Also we can offer x64 version of HostMonitor. Its not available to everyone and its not needed by everyone, for most of customers x86 (32bit) version works more efficiently and uses less memory. On the other hand, if you have over 100,000 test items plus a lot of remote RCC operators and 1000+ Active RMA agents connected to HostMonitor, then you may need x64 version. It may use over 2GB memory and in some cases works faster. Related forum thread
