System Requirements
Operating System: Windows 2003, 2008, or 2008 R2 with the latest service pack
A Network Monitor object is a unique IP address. A monitor is a single test or metric of that object. For example, a Windows machine, represented by a single IP address, might have many monitors, with each monitor returning data about a different performance metric for that machine.
Minimum requirements
- 1 GHz CPU
- 2 GB memory
- 5 GB free disk space (1)
Notes
1 Disk consumption is noted per year for a normal installation with the described number of objects and monitors
2 Kaseya recommends that Network Monitor be installed on a 1+0 Raid array with at least 4 GB of RAM for best possible report generation performance
3 Kaseya recommends that you run the Network Monitor installation on a dedicated machine.
Network Monitor comes with its own database.

Who’s watching all of those event logs, anyways?
The Kaseya Syslog Monitor free tool sifts through the thousands of syslog messages looking for the critical items you want to find. When it does find those entries, it can send an alert to you or take a number of other automated reactions.
The Kaseya System Log Monitor allows you to be more proactive in your monitoring of your network devices. You can be alerted each time you find:
- A new machine logs onto the network
- Blocked devices and/or sources
- Port scanning on the internal network
- Device / hardware errors
- Unauthorized logins to routers
The solution is completely agentless – which means once you install the server, there is nothing else to install. The server itself it gathers all of the information into a single store charting the statistics over time.
The solution is 100% web based and works on all of the popular browsers.

Syslog Monitor Specific
Properties
The syslog monitor can intercept syslog message sent to Network Monitor from one or more syslog hosts. The monitor can be configured to receive different types of messages. More than one syslog monitor can be added to each object to receive different combinations of messages. Before you create a monitor of this type, you need to start the internal syslog server.
If another syslog service is executing on the Network Monitor host machine the result is unpredictable.
