Total Network Monitor (TNM) is a lightweight, on-premises network monitoring software program developed by Softinventive Lab. It is designed to continuously track the availability, health, and performance of local area networks (LANs), individual computers, servers, and vital network services.
The platform relies on a “sensor and action” framework, using customizable monitoring probes to watch your infrastructure and execute automated workflows the moment a parameter falls outside of its normal state. Core Architecture: How It Works The software operates through three core concepts:
Monitors: The individual tracking objects assigned to specific assets.
Sensors (Probes): The data collectors that query network components at predefined intervals.
Actions: Pre-programmed responses triggered automatically when a sensor detects a failure. Key Features
Automatic Topology Mapping: TNM scans your local network to build a visual, two-dimensional spatial map. If a new computer or device connects to your LAN, it automatically populates on this interactive map.
Traffic Light Management: The software relies on an intuitive green, red, and black color-coded alert status system to instantly display the real-time health of your infrastructure.
Diverse Network Probes: Probes are broken down into distinct categories to cover your entire environment:
Internet Probes: Checks availability over critical protocols, including ICMP (Ping), TCP, HTTP, FTP, POP/SMTP, and IMAP.
Windows Probes: Queries deep Windows metrics like Event Logs, Registry states, specific service states, and core system performance parameters.
File Probes: Inspects remote file systems for storage space, file existence, overall size, CRC checks, and file content variations.
Automated Remediation Actions: When a probe fails, TNM doesn’t just sound an alarm; it can be configured to take corrective action. It can play audio, send emails/instant messages, record the issue in log files, launch outside applications, run custom scripts, or directly reboot services and remote PCs.
Project and Report Logging: System data is captured on a comprehensive Statistics pane and Activity diagram. Network configurations and settings are saved neatly into a portable XML project file. Licensing and Deployment
