ServiceMon - Extensible Real-time, Service Monitoring Utility for Windows

ServiceMon is a standalone, extensible, real-time, service monitoring tool for Windows, written from the ground up in .NET to be fully extensible.

       

A simple script controls the services and web pages to monitor. To test the availability of Google’s home page, by fetching a URL and looking for a phrase, use this line:

http-get "http://www.google.com" must-contain "Google"

This will send a ping request to facebook.com and check a reply is received within 5 seconds:

ping "facebook.com" must-be-less-than "5s"

Scripts can be nested to divide the screen into independent monitoring panels:

{
  #name "Panel 1"
  http-get "http://www.google.com" must-contain "I'm Feeling Lucky"
}
{
  {
    #name "Panel 2"
    windows-service-status "Spooler", "localhost" must-equal "Running"
  }
  {
    #name "Panel 3"
    ping "http://microsoft.com" must-equal "Success"
  }
}

Monitoring can be customised using directives. The colour used to indicate status, polling frequency, execution ordering and automated emails can all be customised.
