Windows Monitoring – Codeplex

After three and a half years, time came to update a personal project hosted on Codeplex. It’s called Windows Monitoring.
This project is meant to provide programmers with a set of reusable classes, gathered into one assembly, to develop custom system monitoring consoles for windows server systems.
The base set provides classes with methods to check:

• Network ping
• HTTP server running
• FTP server running
• Disk space on system hard drive
• Database availability

Open for evolution is the adittion of methods related to Mail Servers, such as Exchange, or Domain controllers.
I took the dust off the Codeplex account, logged in using Visual Studio 2010 together with Team Explorer and migrated the code from .NET 2.0 onto 4.0.
The update projects and source code can be browsed and downloaded. If you don’t have Visual Studio, but some other IDE, you can download the assembly on the recommended release and use the tester source code as a usage example.
Happy coding!
