SpaceSentinel v1.5

SpaceSentinel is a Windows NT service that will query the amount of free disk space on Windows NT/2000 drives and shares.

Rapid Installation and Configuration

The initial installation and configuration can be completed in under 10 minutes for virtually any sized network with the QuickConfig Wizard. This wizard will scan your domain and monitor all of the drives on all servers.

Rapid Re-Configuration when your Network Changes

When your network changes, and servers are added or removed, you can rapidly update your configuration using the QuickConfig Wizard. It will detect new drives and include them in your configuration, and start monitoring again.

Web-Based Monitoring Console

Click for larger view

The web pages include a web-based "console" that can be used to monitor all of the drives. The browser can be loaded on multiple workstations, so administrators from different locations can view the drive status.

SpaceSentinel web pages can be viewed from any standard browser.

The browser will refresh its display every 30 seconds by default. If a drive changes status, an alert sound will be played through the browser, and the specific drive that changed will be highlighted.

If the browser loses connectivity with the SpaceSentinel server, it will continue to attempt to connect to the SpaceSentinel server so you do not need to "retry" to connect to the server if there is a momentary loss of connectivity.

You can sort each column in the display by clicking on the column title.

If you desire to have printed reports of drive space, click on "Print Report", and the browser will be instructed to print a report (sorted by the same column that the web page is currently displaying).

Monitoring as a Service

As a service, SpaceSentinel provides benefits over console based monitoring tools:

• You don't have to be logged in to the console for monitoring to occur
• Desktop resources (real estate and system tray space) on the console are not used

Variety of Different Outputs

SpaceSentinel has a number of different outputs that can help you manage your network:

• Web pages are generated so you can check free disk space of drives from any browser
• A built-in webserver makes it easy to set up
• WAP pages are updated so you can check free disk space of drives from WAP enabled cell phones and PDAs
• A built-in WAPserver makes it easy to set up
