Do you guys know of any remote apps to monitor network (connected programs, like a firewall), cpu and hard drives? Windows only, please. If possible, something really simple that works! Thanks!

Please spend a bit more time explaining what it is you want to monitor; it's not clear right now. Include a description of your network configuration as well, what make/model/version of your edge firewall/router would be helpful too. – gravyface Sep 10 '10 at 15:57
If this is just for your PC, this would be better on SuperUser. – mfinni Sep 10 '10 at 16:36
Just ping our website/intranet, receive alerts when cpu is at 100% and be able to see if something is using our bandwidth (virus or hacker or whatever). I will try Reactor, as suggested. It looks like what I need. Thanks! – Mac Johnson Sep 11 '10 at 9:48

I'm using Reactor, it's a monitoring application that runs on Windows. It is quite simple to use, no thousands of buttons and options to configure. But it covers my needs of monitoring a couple of web servers, smtp and an Oracle db. Plus cpu, memory and hd. It has a view with the list of active connections, kind of netstat. I have not used that yet but I can see how that might be handy to troubleshoot issues.

You can download it and try it, no need to register or anything. There is also a free version with reduced functionality.

Very different from what I've been using. Really easy and simple. Thanks! – Mac Johnson Sep 11 '10 at 9:50

If you don't wanna go cloud, you can check out the free spiceworks - but yes, we need more information to help you.

I don't think SpiceWorks can tell you how many/what connections are established on any given host on a network though, unless if reads netstat when doing it's scans or something, but you'd have to scan ALOT to keep that up-to-date. – gravyface Sep 10 '10 at 16:13
I don't think it does either - it's not my favorite but I don't have much to go on. :) But it does do the cpu/disk/etc... – Matt Sep 10 '10 at 16:36
Thanks! No, I don't wanna go cloud. Spiceworks seems way too complex but I will see. – Mac Johnson Sep 11 '10 at 9:45
