ScopePort is an easy to configure but powerful remote monitoring server. You can use it to monitor servers all over the web. It permanently checks system functions of servers and warns you if something goes wrong. It also provides a nice web interface that lets you have the overview of all your servers and their health.
The main difference to e.g. Nagios or Zabbix is, that ScopePort is configured very easily and extremely fast. Just monitor your boxes – Don’t spend the whole day to make them monitored.
