Network monitor

[MarkPollock]

I have to monitor small network (dozens servers on several sites). It

would be great to use some network and server monitoring tool to check

servers availability.

Alerting and reporting engine would be greatly appreciated. What is the most

popular network monitor?

I would recommend Advanced Host Monitor

Really usefull monitoring tool with simple interface, flexible alert

profiles and customizable reporting engine. I have been monitoring over 2000

servers in several networks using HostMonitor and I am fully satisfied with

it.
