Alchemy Eye is a program that helps the network administrator to monitor servers in TCP/IP network.

Alchemy Eye maintains a list of servers that will be checked repetedly. When server goes down, the program notifies the network administrator and writes a log file with server monitoring report.

Alchemy Eye can monitor servers in common, "pinging" specified logical or numeric IP address. The program also can check specific services such as HTTP or SMTP by opening/closing a socket at the specified address and port, and Oracle servers by logging in/out to/from the database. Event notifications could be sent by e-mail, to WinPopup application (Windows 9x), Messenger service (Windows NT) or to ICQ pager, ordinary pager or mobile phone (SMS) via e-mail gateway.
