[edit] 1 Overview

Intellipool Network Monitor is administrated through a web interface and is installed as a service on a computer running Windows 2000, XP or 2003. Features agentless monitoring of availability and collection of performance statistics from databases, applications, network equipment and servers such as:

* Windows (R) NT, 2000, XP, 2003
* Windows eventlog and syslog
* Unix, Linux and BSD
* SQL Databases such as Microsoft SQL, Oracle and MySql
* Mail servers such as Microsoft Exchange and Alt-N Mdaemon
* File servers
* System log files
* SNMP enabled network equipment such as routers and switches
* Traffic and bandwidth
* Uninterruptible power supply (UPS)
* Environment monitoring devices (temperature, humidity, water leaks)
* Intellipool Network Monitor can be extended with custom LUA scripts (Lua programming language).

[edit] 1.1 Agentless testing

The term "agentless" refers to testing being done without the need to install software on the monitored server. While agentless testing traditionally considered to be inferior to agent testing, the development of remote management and testing protocols such as WMI has made agentless testing as effective as agent testing.

[edit] 2 Distributed testing

Distributed testing makes it possible to monitor servers, routers and other network connected equipment that are inaccessible or only accessible through a low bandwidth connection. To accomplish this a gateway is installed in the remote network. The gateway will act on instructions from the master INM installation.

[edit] 2.1 Server

The INM server contains the configuration and user interface. Remote objects are managed the same way as locally-tested objects to simplify administration.

[edit] 2.2 Gateway

The INM gateway can be installed on any available machine in the remote network and does not require a dedicated server.

[edit] 2.3 Security

Security and data integrity is achieved by using the SSH 2.0 communication protocol. The SSH 2.0 protocol encrypts data with public key algorithms and protects connections from man-in-the-middle attacks. To further enhance security the INM gateway never stores the configuration. Configuration is requested from the INM server upon startup and is updated automatically when it changes on the INM server.
