I would like to monitor a simple url. But when its a https server I get a handshake exception. Its possible to verify state of a https url the way browser use to connect? (without having a local certificate). I don't know how browsers do to get content from a https url but I would like to make it the same way. Without need to store a spe...
I currently have 3 servers each running different applications. Occasionally through installation misconfiguration and code re-factoring these machines are left with assemblies in the GAC that are no longer being referenced or used by anything. Are there any tools anybody is aware of to monitor / log how often, or when certain assembli...
I'm a believer in observing what users are doing with an application. I think that it is the only way to get an accurate picture of what people are doing. However, I don't always want to be sitting with them and peering over their shoulder; apart from the time burden it is a distracting for them and may also change their behaviour. What...
Good evening, does anyone know a native/elegant way to read out the available network interfaces and their current througput (e.g. bytes/sec) in .net? Cheers & thanks, -Jörg ...
I'm working on a small clipboard manager which should remember recent copied text. I'm using Windows system messages for being notified when something has been copied to clipboard by WM_DRAWCLIPBOARD. The problem is some of the applications I use send multiple WM_DRAWCLIPBOARD messages to my application, for instance when I copy somethin...

In Windows, how can I programmatically determine which user account last changed or deleted a file? I know that setting up object access auditing may be an option, but if I use that I then have the problem of trying to match up audit log entries to specific files... sounds complex and messy! I can't think of any other way, so does anyon...
We are developping a web application that uses external web services as the main data source. The web services have been created and are maintained by one of our close partners. Even though they are supposed to work all the time, they are not 100% reliable. From time to time, they stop being reachable or they start throwing exceptions. ...
I'm going to be releasing a site soon that is on it's own dedicated server and can find plenty of tools for monitoring the server its self (disk usage, cpu usage, memory usage, etc) but can't really find anything for MySQL and was wondering what other people use or recommend. I'm not necessarily looking for something with pretty charts a...
I need a monitoring tool, which can monitor 50+ RSS feeds and send me an SMS with micro link, when certain words or sentences turn up in those RSS streams. Of cause it would be great if such a tool was open source .NET such that I could optimize it for my specific use. Does anyone know of such a tool? ...
How can I monitor a Windows process and start it up if it is not running? I'd like to have something that starts up as a Windows service and can handle multiple processes. EDIT: Hopefully there's a ready to use library/component I can use and just tweak or configure instead of having to implement it from scratch. I know in the *nix worl...
Let's say for example you have 5 different companies using the same platform (Windows based) all wrote their own web services, what technique using C# and .Net 3.5 would you recommend using to monitor all their different web services? My intention is to build an application that provides visual feedback on service statuses to site admin...
The user, administrators and support staff need detailed runtime and monitoring information from a daemon developed in C. In my case these information are e.g. the current system health, like throughput (MB/s), already written data, ... the current configuration I would use JMX in the Java world and the procfs (or sysfs) interface ...
My webapp exposes some application-specific metrics (think "orders placed") via JMX, which I'd like to monitor using Hyperic HQ (open source edition). According to the Hyperic Inventory Model, my Linux server is called a Platform hosting my Tomcat 6 Server, which in turn hosts Services (e.g. "Servlet Monitor"), who finally expose Metric...
Hi, Is there a .NET equivalent for monitoring and management - similar to JMX? ...
Hi, I need to expose certain monitoring statistics from my application and I'm wondering what the most widespread framework or protocol is for doing this? ...
I am building a ruby application that grabs emails sent to a server and logs them to a database. Right now I don't have is a way to fully test the (Email -> Ruby -> Database) stack for downtime. I am using services that test the server the ruby is running on for downtime, and i'm using monit to make sure that the ruby daemon doesn't go d...
I've just become the system admin for my research group's cluster and, in this respect, am a novice. I'm trying to make a few tools to monitor the network and need help getting started implementing them with python (my native tongue). For example, I would like to view who is logged onto remote machines. By hand, I'd ssh and who, but how...
I have implemented a windows service application that will be deployed to multiple machines and run concurrently to process tasks in a central queue. I have a log file for each instance of service running. But I want to be able to monitor all instances of the service and retrieve application specific information, such as Name and ID of t...
