About ipPulse
ipPulse™ is a Connectivity and
Device Status Monitoring Tool. Use ipPulse to monitor the
status of IPv4 connected devices (computers, routers, switches,
printers) on any IPv4 connected network. ipPulse can use
one or two tests including ping, TCP Port connection, or
SNMP to poll and check the network connectivity of your
list of devices. ipPulse alerts you to failures using several
methods ranging from audible messages to email notification
- send alert emails to your phone. Logging is also available.
Monitoring Tests: each IPv4 address
can be tested with a Primary test and optionally a Secondary
test.
- Primary Test can ping the target
to see if it responds or connect to a TCP port* to see
if the connection is accepted.
- Secondary Test has three modes: disabled,
connect to a TCP port* to see if the connection is accepted
or it can use SNMP v1/v2c to find out if a network interface
is down.
*Each target can have a different TCP port
and the primary/secondary TCP ports can be different.
Notification Methods: when a failure
occurs, you have several user-configurable things you can
have it do.
- Email - now supports both secure
(TLS) and unsecure email servers. Send alert emails
to your computer, cell phone or smart phone.
- Audible Beep or WAV.
- Logging to text log files.
- Logging to a web page.
- Launch an external program on failure.
