Hi, we have a web site needs a monitoring software can do the following thing:<br />
<br />
able to send text message and email to the administrator for alerting<br />
alert when a single website is offline<br />
alert when the IIS service is stopped<br />
alert when SQL database is offline<br />
alert when the server is offline<br />
alert when a specific bandwidth quota is exceed<br />
<br />
I found some software can do these like whatsup gold, but they are way too pricey, I was wondering if there's any popular open source or cheaper monitoring software exist with less functions ?<br />
btw, our server is windows 2008 standard
