ServiceMon is a standalone, extensible, real-time, service monitoring tool for Windows written in .NET. It was developed to monitor the status of critical web services and web pages and has now been released under the GPL license and is completely free to use. A simple script is used to control which services and web pages you would like to monitor. Standalone, real-time, lightweight service monitoring tool. Setup and configuration takes just a couple of minutes. Monitoring actions can be scripted using the built-in scripting language and edited using ServiceMons editor or your favourite plain text editor, such as Notepad++, TextPad or Visual Studio. All configuration files and scripts are plain text files which allows them to be easily shared, compared for differences and stored in a source control system (such as SVN or Git).

Numerous ways of testing the response including equality, test for a particular phrase, test based on time taken. Custom monitoring commands and tests can be added within minutes using .NET "10 Foot" Status indicator. A real-time status display which is visible from over 10 foot away to provide immediate notification of a test failure and act as an information radiator. Monitor can run as full screen, mini view or as a system tray notifier. Automatic graphing of response time distributions and aggregate statistics of minimum, maximum, average and the Nines (90th, 99th, 99.9th and 99.99th percentiles).
