Publisher's Description
From Integrio Systems:
Understanding the importance of keeping your website's downtime to the minimum, we have developed Integrio Uptime Scout small tray application that allows you to monitor the availability (uptime) of your website(s) and notifies you if the website (or the server) goes down. Uptime Scout supports different notification methods, such as popup messages, sound alerts and email. Alert notifications can also trigger execution of user defined commands or a third-party application. If you are already signed up for commercial web monitoring service, Uptime Scout is still useful - in most cases it notifies you much faster because alert immediately pops up on your screen, and monitoring frequency can be set as low as 30 seconds.
Version 1.0.4 allows to customize the texts of the notification emails.
What's new in this version: Version 1.0.4 allows to customize the texts of the notification emails.

"Does its simple job well."
Version: Integrio Uptime Scout 1.0.4
Pros
So far, it's done precisely what it's supposed to do. And it lets me monitor a number of sites at once and easily compare their response performance at different points in time. I'm happy.
Cons
None so far.
Summary
I had ongoing issues with sites on one hosting company -- including their claims of uptime I *knew* were untrue, excuse me, mistaken. I didn't want to pay for a commercial monitoring service. I needed to keep an eye on things and get a sense of the scope of the problems.
One thing, I didn't try getting the email notification working beyond one quick stab at using a gmail account. I note someone else mentioned an issue so you might want to subtract a half star or more (depending on your needs) from my review. ;)
It worked great. I realized my ongoing problems were, indeed, bad, but not as bad as I was imaging at my darkest moments. But it also showed me that by spending a couple bucks more a month for a competitor host I was also monitoring sites on, I could cut my average response times by about 2/3. And THAT is valuable info that I was just guessing at before.

"Mostly ok..."
Version: Integrio Uptime Scout 1.0.4
Pros
Easy to install, clear and simple user interface, effective monitoring, small footprint.
Cons
Email alerts not working consistently. Didn't work with gmail SMTP (maybe because it requires SSL). I finally manage to use a different SMTP server (GoDaddy's), but even then I did not get every alert.
Summary
Email notifications are critical for those of us who have life... If they get this functionality to work reliably it would be perfect for simple website/server monitoring.
