GFI Network Server Monitor components
GFI Network Server Monitor is a client/server application, based on a
central monitoring service able to run on Windows NT or higher. This
application monitors servers and workstations in your LAN, WAN or
even outside your enterprise without the need of any other additional
software. This software architecture allows for high reliability and
scalability to monitor both large and small networks.
GFI Network Server Monitor consists of 3 main modules which are:-
• NSMUI.exe – Network Server Monitor configuration and user
interface.
• NSMENGINE.exe – Network Server Monitor engine/service (multi-
threading engine able to run 24 checks at a time).
• NSMATTENDANT.exe – Service which controls web result
monitoring, web server access, etc.
Network Server Monitor Engine
The GFI Network Server Monitor Engine is a windows service that
polls the servers in your LAN/WAN for availability at specific time
intervals. This is a multithreading service, allowing 24 simultaneous
checks to take place at the same time.
NOTE: GFI Network Server Monitor only makes use of the protocols
and application layers available in the Operating System for running
its checks, thus no agent software installation is required on the
servers to be monitored.
Network Server Monitor configuration
The GFI Network Server Monitor configuration program is the user
interface to the GFI Network Server Monitor engine. Use this module
to configure all settings required for GFI Network Server Monitor. To
launch this module go on Start > GFI Network Server Monitor program
group > GFI Network Server Monitor configuration.
