NTManage is a network monitoring product which combines powerful graphical fault/performance monitoring with a rule-based notification and fault management system at a very affordable price point. NTManage has been designed specifically for the Microsoft Windows NT platform, yet its flexible network map interface allows for effective monitoring and management of any TCP/IP or SNMP enabled device.

Designed to continuously monitor the health and performance of all the vital components of your network, NTManage delivers the effective operations oversight today's network managers need to ensure maximum availability of mission-critical server applications and vital network resources to end users.


NTManage is a:

Fault/Performance Monitor - monitors all IP addressable devices, SNMPv1-enabled devices, as well as Windows NT servers, workstations or services. Monitors for critical faults and errors as well as Windows NT servers, workstations and services. Monitor for critical faults and errors as well as performance degradations and diminishing resources.

Event Manager - detected network events are classified by severity level. Automatically restarts failed Windows NT services and executes user-definable event management or notification actions upon the detection of an event.

SNMP Management Console - contains MIB Compiler and Browser; as well as ability to display, graph and set thresholds for any SNMP values. Also sends and receives SNMP traps, filters incoming traps and executes user-defined actions based on network device generated traps.

Network Health Map Generator - allows creation of highly graphical network topology maps containing visually realistic map backgrounds, device icons, status indicators and text boxes displaying vital operational statistics.


NTManage Key Benefits

High Availability Of Networks' Resources To End Users

NTManage delivers the effective control and operations over-sight today's network managers need to ensure maximum availability of mission critical server applications and vital network resources.

By focusing on the needs of all networking professionals responsible for the smooth operation and reliable availability of their network's resources to end users we have been able to develop NTManage as the comprehensive solution for the detection, diagnosis, timely notification, correction and intelligent management of Windows NT network faults and performance degradations.

NTManage also helps you guarantee service levels to end users; proactively managing your Windows NT network by notifying you of potential application or system bottlenecks and allowing you to take the necessary actions to prevent costly critical faults.

Powerful Network Monitoring -- At A Glance

NTManage's network map pane provides a realistic representation of your network's topography along with it's components and their current operational status. Easily increase the realism of your network map, by adding display items such as bitmaps, images, text and OLE objects. Objects and devices on the map can also be linked together to simulate the topological layout of your network.

For further customization, NTManage currently ships with over 350 icons which you can use to represent your network components. Most of the popular brands and types of network devices are available, including everything from Cisco routers to Windows 95 machines. You also have the option of importing your own custom icons.

After creating your network map, assign intuitive colors to your network device's different status levels to know at a glance if the device is up, down, in error, in warning or collecting important information. Then by simply double clicking or right clicking on any of those devices' icons, you have instant access to that device's specific management properties, status checks and error actions.

NTManage's Visual Basic compatible scripting engine can also be used to extend the amount of information displayed on the map. For Example, utilize pre-built VB scripts to tag important devices with text boxes and display relevant, up-to-the-minute operational information such as current free disk space, current number of connected users, or total CPU utilization.

Real Time Fault Detection And Management

NTManage's event management features provide network managers with an effective tool for reducing the problem resolution cycle times. Since NTManage automatically pinpoints the network device, segment or operational parameter responsible for the fault and provides specific information required to diagnose problems without requiring the network manager to leave the management console.

NTManage's event management component is considered by many as powerful, flexible, and yet simple to implement. Once triggered by any unusual network event, NTManage can locally execute applications, write to a log file, write to the Windows NT Event Viewer, launch a VB Type macro, and more. For remote alerting, event management can also send alpha/numeric paging, email notification, and SNMP Traps informing the receivers of the event. The actions performed by event management can also be tuned to prevent false alarms due to network traffic congestion.

Proactive Performance Management

NTManage's proactive management features provide network managers with the ability to anticipate and prevent network problems by actively monitoring the network for diminishing network resources, erratic device behavior and unsatisfactory network performance.

This is first achieved through NTManage's built in SNMPv1 MIB compiler and hierarchical MIB browser. These tools, along with a library of standard MIB files included with the package, can be immediately utilized to monitor hundreds of performance parameters on most SNMP compliant devices. Using the product's built-in comparison functions, thresholds and rules can be applied and the results categorized by severity to trigger notification and event management actions.

More importantly however, NTManage also contains a highly efficient proprietary registry interface specifically built to retrieve important NT performance metrics. Literally hundreds of performance counters per machine can be displayed to the network map, graphed in real time, or monitored for erratic behavior. Performance rules and thresholds can also be used to trigger notification or event management actions.

Performance rules and thresholds can also be used to trigger notification or event management options.

Automated Local And Remote Notification

With NTManage on the job, you're the first to know about any problems your network experiences, whether you're in front of your console or away from it. This leads to significantly decreased problem response and resolution times, which in large enterprise computing environments is synonymous with productivity and success.

Think of NTManage as network insurance designed to protect your organization against lost productivity and lost revenue due to network downtime. How much business does it cost your company if your web server goes down and nobody knows about it? What if your accounting server runs out of disk space? How do you prefer to find out your network's bandwidth is exhausted and your end users do not have access to their work; irate end-user phone calls or NTManage?

Highly Customizable To Your Specific Environment

NTManage's extensive customization features include a VB Type scripting component which allows manipulation of your network map's appearance, automation of multiple specialized tasks, interactions with other DDE applications, and customization of NTManage's event management, graphing and object status management processes.

A number of pre-defined Visual Basic scripts are already included with NTManage and provide a wide range of additional capabilities such as displaying useful information on the network map and logging pertinent network statistics. These pre-defined scripts can also be edited for maximum effectiveness by changing, for example, threshold levels and event management actions for various events.

Using the point and click interface, you can quickly customize packaged scripts, changing, for example, the thresholds and corrective actions defined for various events. You can even build your own knowledge scripts using the visual basic for applications scripting language to manage your own custom applications.

Easy To Install, Easy To Configure, Easy To Use

With absolutely no modifications to your critical system configuration and no software agents to deploy, NTManage easily installs on just one Windows NT node (workstation or server) and centrally monitors all of your network's vital signs in real time.

NTManage's auto-discovery routine speeds up configuration by automatically searching your network for installed components, configuring essential status watches, and notification services then creating a graphical network map representing your computing environment and its current operational status.

NTManage is also very intuitive to use in day to day operations. Incorporating the look and feel of the Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 95 GUI means even the most novice of network managers are quickly utilizing the product to detect and resolve network problems.

Easy To Buy, Easy To License And Extremely Affordable

Unlike other network management platforms, NTManage will monitor as many servers, workstations, network devices, applications or services as you need it to, with only one license. No complicated licensing arrangements, hidden costs or expensive "per node" or "per server" charges apply.

The Windows NT network operating system records detailed information about significant events occurring throughout your network in one of three event logs: System, Security, and Application. Since all applications and systems participating in your organization�s daily business activities are potential targets for failures and abuse (generally leading to system downtime or undesirable access to sensitive data), Windows NT Event Log monitoring has become an integral part of any effective network management strategy.

This makes the Event Log Monitor an essential member of the Lanware NMS. Monitor your NT Event Logs in real time to prevent security breaches, stay on top of application errors or keep a watchful eye on critical system services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Event Log Monitor Key Benefits

Freely distributable Event Log Monitoring Agent

To perform its surveillance, the Event Log Monitor relies on agents designed to communicate local event log information to a central repository. Simply distribute the Event Log Monitoring Agent to as many NT machines as you wish to monitor. Best of all, unlike every other event log monitoring product currently available, you only need to purchase one Lanware NMS license to freely distribute the agent to every one of your NT Servers or Workstations.

Centralized Event Log Monitor Repository

Event Log Monitor uses as its central repository an easily accessible Microsoft Access database for collecting, storing and analyzing event log information sent to it by the Event Log Monitoring Agents. Thus, utilizing the NTManage console, you can create intelligent filters which will automatically detect events you consider important and immediately call your attention to them. The database is also accessible from NTManage�s VB compatible scripting interface for advanced filtering rules.

Web-Sight is a product add-on included free of charge with your purchase of NTManage. Web-Sight provides easy access to information gathered by any local or remote NTManage console through a Web-based interface.

Useful Functionality:
  1. In helpdesk scenarios, where multiple administrators or technicians need access to information gathered by an NTManage console.
  2. In any situation where you are physically far removed from your NTManage console, but still need to stay on top of the current state of your network's resources.
  3. In situations where you may want to distribute several NTManage consoles throughout your network to monitor their own local resources yet still be able to obtain one unified "bird's eye view" of your entire network.

Previously, Web-Sight was only one of NTManage's internal components. However, due to increasing demand for a more scalable and robust solution, we have completely redesigned the previous WebView component and re-named it Web-Sight.

Advantages of new architecture
  1. Because Web-Sight is centralized at your Web server, a unified view of your entire organization's managed assets is available.
  2. Information is retrieved from NTManage consoles only upon demand. This means information is retrieved from NTManage consoles only when the Web-Sight installation (virtual directory) on the Web server is accessed therefore reducing both bandwidth and processor overhead.
  3. All information presented by Web-Sight is accurate at the moment it is requested. When HTML code representing the network status information is dynamically generated by server-side scripting, it reflects the internal state of the NTManage console, and the network it is monitoring, at that very moment.
  4. All presentation of information is done with server side scripting implemented with Microsoft's VBScript. Anyone that is familiar with NTManage's internal scripting interface can instantly begin customizing the information that is presented.

Web-Sight Key Benefits

Monitor your network anytime, from anywhere you have access to the Internet

With this architecture, the Event Log Monitor is able to perform operations that a passive system is unable to do. Passive systems simply collect and store event log information then generate reports whenever a systems administrator or security officer gets around to it. While these reports can help in identifying problematic trends, they fall short in mission-critical environments where systems uptime and immediate awareness of critical events are of the essence.

Completely Customizable

Web-Sight utilizes Active Server Page templates which can be easily personalized to reflect your company name, corporate logos, descriptive notes or additional links you may consider important.

Scalable to the Entire Enterprise

Although NTManage allows you to monitor an unlimited number of network nodes from one centralized console, you may wish to distribute several consoles throughout your enterprise network. Web-Sight thereby provides you with an easily accessible unified view of your entire network from one Web address.

Speed Up Problem Identification, Isolation and Resolution

Web-Sight offers the flexibility to identify, isolate, and address network issues through any web browser. You no longer need to rush back to the NTManage console every time an event is detected.

User Friendly, Easy-to-use Interface

Many times traditional network management software is complicated and difficult to understand. Web-Sight offers a well-designed user interface that is very easy to use. Making monitoring your entire network as easy as surfing the internet.
