Let's suppose that you are the administrator of a large computer network and you need to keep a close eye on each connected computer, to make sure that it's working properly. There are situations when some computers don't communicate properly with other computers connected to the network. In case one of those computers is a server, then this can be a real problem. That's why it's a good idea to continuously monitor the network communication of each network computer. One could use the ping command for this, but unfortunately, this lacks a lot of features and can make it really difficult for the administrator to see whether the network computer has some downtime or not.

Using the RedEyes Host Monitor application is a much better idea in this case. This simple Windows application allows you to continuously monitor any computer and device connected to the network, by using the ping command. The program is very simple to install and intuitive to use.

After installing and running the application, the user will be able to easily add to the interface the computers that he would like to monitor. This can be done either manually, by typing the IP address or by scanning an IP range, for finding any active device. The second method is much faster and will ensure that you will not miss a computer, when adding them to the interface. After adding the desired network devices, using a single click, the user can start the monitoring process.

At this point, the program will permanently ping the added network devices and will display their uptime in percents. The uptime can be calculated by analyzing the ping response of every network computer. But RedEyes Host Monitor doesn't only limit to monitoring the uptime of network devices, as it also includes some network tools, like a port scanner or a traceroute feature. Furthermore, the list of monitored computers can be exported in various file formats, for later analysis.

Pros

It can monitor the uptime of every network device. Besides that, it allows scanning IP ranges and adding all the found network devices to the program's interface, completely automatically. Furthermore, it includes a set of extra tools, for example, port scanning or traceroute. Moreover, it can export the list of network devices in various file formats.

Cons

The program requires some network knowledge in order to be fully used. RedEyes Host Monitor allows you to monitor the uptime of every network device, ensuring that your network is working efficiently 24/7.
