RoCKNet

Without denying that Windows Task Manager is a great tool for the times when you need to check resource usage occasionally, unfortunately, the embedded Windows service does not allow you to monitor your computer and network all day long.

RoCKNet is a small piece of software that enables you to keep track of your network and computer usage efficiently and minutely.

Following a fast setup, you need to take a few minutes to configure the application. To be more precise, you need to create a new database if this is the first time you are using this utility. In the eventuality you are upgrading, you can employ the connect to the existing database feature.

You should know that you will become the administrator of the database and app automatically by adding yourself as a new user. Afterwards, you can employ your username and password to log in and you are ready to start setting up monitoring tasks.

It is necessary to mention that the application permits you to keep track of several types of resource and activities on your computer, namely memory, uptime, website, folder size, file age, CPU usage, application running and hotfix installed jobs, just to name a few.

For enhanced convenience, you can assign different tasks to Agents, as there is no limitation as to the number of monitoring tools you can deploy on your network. You can set up alarms, so that you can receive notification when system resources reach critical values. You can receive alerts with potential problems as a pop-up message or via email.
