Port Alert Description
Port Monitor & Alert is a software application whose sole purpose is to aid people in monitoring multiple ports in the same time and receive notification through SMSs or mail messages.
Clean environment
The installation process does not last very long, as it does not offer to add third-party products. Once you wrap it up, you come face to face with a plain and well-organized UI. It consists of a few boxes and buttons, and a pane which displays the ports you have added. All types of users, including beginners and highly experienced ones, can easily find their way around it.
Setting up port details and terms for notifications
This software utility supports quite a large number of ports, such as WWW, FTP, SSH, SMTP, DNS, POP3, IMAP, Oracle SQL and MYSQL. After you choose one of these from a drop-down menu, you are required to fill in the host name or the IP address and a short description, so that you can identify the port you are monitoring with more ease.
In addition to that, it is possible to establish the number of consecutive timeouts at which to send an alert, as well as input details pertaining to it, such as e-mail account and password, phone number and the maximum number of text messages to send. Furthermore, the time interval for monitoring and the timeout value for connecting have to be input by the user, and all logs are saved to the hard drive in a TXT format.
Conclusion
To sum up, Port Monitor & Alert is a pretty efficient piece of software, when it comes to monitoring ports and setting up alerts. The interface is intuitive, the response time is good and it does not burden the computer’s performance.
