Website Monitoring Tools The success of any Web resource hardly depends on how good the webmaster has made an adjustment and optimization of the server. To control the resource webmaster requires notification of all instability on the server. Below is a series of tools to solve the problem. Uptime monitor tests the server, and looks at the stability of the signals of all the instability. For a website that provides solid performance, reduces the time when the resource is "temporarily is not working, try again later." In reality good companies that offer paid services of uptime monitoring, carryout the server checks by a number of agents that are located on different continents. The agent can check the site every 60 seconds or according to user settings. Also there are different forms of warning of emerging failures and downtime. For companies that deal with hosting, banner monitoring company stating, for example, that uptime is higher than 99%, becomes superfluous in the website design. Because it will show potential customers the reliability of company. DNS Monitoring - is a tool that makes it possible to carry out inspection of the DNS-server, which function is to post the IP address, and (depending on the request request) other data for the domain name host. Verification is carried out by sending a given query to the server being monitored. The query contains the domain name of any host, which DNS-server converts to IP-address. If the DNS-server worked without errors and completed the task – you get the right answer, which suggests that the test is passed. Port monitoring is carried out in conjunction with the monitoring points of specified port on the server. This monitoring is carried out, due to TCP and UDP, which determine whether a connection is established with the port. In the case of an unsuccessful attempt of connection the notification starts. Distinguish UDP Port monitoring and TCP Port monitoring. VoIP monitoring - monitoring of VoIP-telephony, which popularity day by day is growing rapidly.

This means, in addition to factors directly related to the VoIP-telephony applications, VoIP monitor must be able to explore other features of the network, as well as the network load. The monitoring of load level and controling the conditions in the network is the most important for high-quality sound in VoIP.
