Network Monitoring

Send an SMS alert on any network event you define

Waiting to discover an outage costs uptime. SMSEagle monitors your servers and services on a schedule you control and sends an SMS alert as soon as something goes down, or comes back up.

Network Monitoring: Get an SMS the moment a server or service goes down

Monitor with the protocol you need

ICMP, TCP/UDP port, SNMP, or Modbus TCP, choose whichever fits the service.

Alerts on the way down and back up

Get notified when a host or service fails, and again when it recovers.

Independent of your main network

SMSEagle sends alerts over the cellular network, so it can alert you even when your own network and monitoring infrastructure are down.

SMSEagle hardware SMS gateway

Monitor without extra tools

Add a device to monitor by filling in a few fields

Name the task, enter a host, and set a timeout, SMSEagle starts watching it directly, no software to install on the monitored device.

Network Monitoring: Check the way your service actually works

Pick the protocol that fits

Pick the check that fits the service

ICMP for a ping check, a TCP/UDP port, SNMP for an object value, or Modbus TCP for industrial registers.

Control when monitoring runs

Stay quiet during planned maintenance

Keep a task always enabled, or disable it during chosen times, like nightly backups or planned restarts.

Choose exactly when to alert

Alert on the way down, the way back up, or both

Decide whether SMSEagle texts you when a service fails, when it recovers, or both, so you only get the alerts you need.

Network Monitoring: Handle SNMP traps as they arrive

Alerts from device notifications too

Handle SNMP traps as they arrive

Devices that report their own failures via SNMP traps can trigger the same SMS alerting, with no regular checks needed.

Network Monitoring: Review uptime and downtime in one report

Downtime report

Review uptime and downtime in one report

Generate a report showing when each service was down, for how long, and what the check returned.

Network Monitoring: FAQ

Define a task with a host and a check method (ICMP, port, SNMP, or Modbus TCP), and SMSEagle sends an SMS when it goes down or recovers. You can also link a task to a parent task, so one upstream failure, like a router, doesn’t trigger a flood of alerts from every task behind it.

ICMP (ping), TCP/UDP port, SNMP v1/v2 (numeric or string return types, with threshold conditions), or Modbus TCP with its own register value conditions.

Yes. Keep a task always enabled, or disable it during chosen times, such as planned restarts or backups.

Yes. SNMP Traps let devices push their own alerts to SMSEagle, which can then send an SMS.

Yes. Reports show when a service was down, for how long, and what the check returned at the time.

Network Monitoring is a built-in feature available on all current SMSEagle hardware SMS gateways.
