CrunzhMonitor 1.4

CrunzhMonitorMac is a small program to check the stability of your web server. It simply checks the possibility of connecting to you web server (http server) and if it fails, maintains an error log. It is possible to configure how often it should check. It is free and open source software!

The first time you run CrunzhMonitor you get the following dialog:

The input field called site where it says www.crunzh.com is the URL of the website you want to monitor, just type in the location of your website. The next field (interval) is how often (in minutes) you want CrunzhMonitor to check the server. The default is every 5 minutes.

The final two checkboxes is “Popup on error” and “Keep log”. If you check “Popup on error” CrunzhMonitor will use a popup to notify you if there is a problem. The keep log checkbox indicates if you want to keep your logfile when you end the program.

Then just click “Start monitoring” and it will notify you of any problems with your website.

If you want to save your settings, go to the File menu and select “Save settings”, then CrunzhMonitor will load the settings automatically the next time you launch the program.

The field called Status is either OK or Error depending on the last attempt to contact the server.

Time of last error, is the data and time of the last time an error was encountered.

Last error is simply the last error that occurred when trying to contact the server.
