nanoWatcher

nanoWatcher is a small software application developed specifically for helping you monitor and log IP activity for multiple hosts or domains. The utility is compatible with Windows XP, Vista, 7, and 8. It comes in handy especially when you want to log network errors each time they occur. Data is saved to a detailed log file on your disk.

The tool sports a simple and minimalist panel that allows you to keep track of different hosts or domains directly from the main window. Popup messages are automatically shown when IP addresses are detected as dead. The program is able to play sound notifications.

nanoWatcher gives you the possibility to configure a new host or domain by providing information about the IP address, name of the host, and MAC address.

When it comes to configuration settings, you are allowed to set the buffer size and ping timeout, make the app automatically perform checks at a certain time interval (in seconds), choose between three CPU usage profiles (normal, medium, or low), enter the average ping time, run the tool at Windows startup and open it minimized, as well as enable or disable popup and sound notifications.

Several configuration settings are available if your right-click on each host. You are offered the freedom to open the current host, send a message, log data to a file on your computer, as well edit or remove hosts.

To sum things up, nanoWatcher comes packed with several handy and smart features for helping you keep an eye on multiple hosts or domains. It is suitable for both network administrators and home users. In case you want to skip the installation steps, you can check out the portable version of the application, nanoWatcher Portable.
