Basic remote monitoring & alerts

[NightShadow]

Hey,

I am looking for some client side software that will email me if a process on a PC dies or if it runs out of disk space etc. I have seen things like Nagios and Zabbix but both of these require a server from what I can tell? Is there anything out there than can do some basic monitoring/alerting without the need for a server?

You could probably install those and get the PC to monitor itself as a client but does seem a bit overkill if it is just for one PC.

Depending on the o/s and if you can script what you want to happen then you could look at eventtriggers.exe for 2003, or in Win7/2008 you can set up tasks/actions based on events in event viewer.

Thanks! Eventtriggers.exe looks quite good, will see what I can come up with.
