Server Patrol is a completely hardware device for high reliability network services 24
hours a day monitoring. In fact it holds constantly under control TCP/IP
services or server (Web, SMTP, POP, FTP, etc.) operating status so Server
Patrol quickly notices eventual blocks or faults.
It is also able to measure environment temperature and humidity and so to find out air
conditioning equipment problems.
Alarms messages are brought out by
sending e-mail and SMS up to 12 addressees, for a quick problem notification.
For each alarm condition, an alert message is sent when the event occurs and an other one,
a ceased alert message, when the normal operating condition is restored.
Together with this kind of 'first aid' alert, Server Patrol offers a continuously
updated web page that shows a control panel reporting all the machine operating
status. This way it is very easy to integrate this control panel into your company intranet or in an
existing web site to check alarm status simply on the Internet.
Very easy to install and configure, Server Patrol has to be connected to your own LAN, as
a common network equipment, and it is ready to work!
It can be controlled and configured both by SMS and by a software interface (provided with the
device) developed with Macromedia Flash.
Configuration is realized by mean of standard HTTP transactions, that are described in the
provided documentation: this way it is possible to develop your own HTML pages
or Flash applications for Server Patrol configuration and operating status
control.

Operating outline
For network equipment surveillance, Server Patrol
may use three different approaches.
The first is useful when the requirement is to check only the network equipment response
In this case, Server Patrol sends a Ping ICMP request toward the equipment
IP address: if a response comes back, status is considered normal; on the
contrary a event counter increases. When this counter reaches the upper limit
that was configured by the user, the related alarm message is sent.
The second allows to check the status of a specified service
In case of service control, Server Patrol tries to establish a socket connection on the TCP
port related to the service itself (port 80 for Web Service, port 25 for SMTP
relay, etc.) . As in the previous case, if a response comes back then status is
considered normal, on the contrary the same alarm procedure starts.
The third checks more accurately the specified service response
This mechanism allows an even more accurate control of the chosen service. In fact,
as in the second case, Server Patrol tries to establish a socket connection
on the TCP port related to the service. But this time the response itself is not enough: it is analyzed
to search specific identifiers that ware configured by the user. This way, not
only it is achieved that the service TCP port responds correctly, but also it
is verified that the desired and specific service itself responds correctly.
To avoid that Server Patrol surveillance requests generate to much traffic on the
network, it is demanded to the user the control frequency configuration:
according to the problems discovery desired timeliness, control range is from
one a day up to one a minute.
Configuration Utility (ATTENTION:
to take a look to the configuration utility without actually connecting Server Patrol (you may also not have the device at all,
but you may want to test the software interface), you have to fill the login form with "onlytest" instead of the IP address
and leave the password blank. This way you will enter into the utility even if no data will be shown in the related interface)
