Improved Windows Service Monitoring Monitoring NT services is now even easier. You can browse a list of services and create an OID Tracker with one click from the latest Windows device dashboards.

New and Improved Device Dashboards Existing dashboards have been improved with new graphical instruments and layout, and several new platforms have also been added.

Monitor Microsoft SQL and Exchange Servers Using optional agents from our new technology partner, Informant Systems, you can monitor myriad operational details of your SQL database servers, IIS web servers and Exchange mail servers.

New Backup System You can now back up your Netmon data to a remote file share, as well as choose which types of data you wish to back up. Netmon automatically calculates the size of each database table, so you can determine which monitoring facilites consume most of your disk space.

SNMP Object (OID) Tracker Report You can now generate reports on the managed objects you are monitoring with your Netmon system.

URL Tracker Report You can now generate reports on the performance of your URL Trackers.
