Vive la Revolución!

Saturday, July 11th, 2009

Big changes are afoot here at ServerMojo HQ as we prepare for v3 of our server and network monitoring service.. a revolution is in the making so dust off the guillotines and sharpen those blades! ServerMojo is rising!

Phase 1:

We are about to roll out a fancy new design for the site which we believe is looking pretty damn snazzy and which may or may not hint at some of the nifty things to come.. ;)

Phase 2: Top Secret!

This is the big one, the game changer. The changing of the guard and the arrival of the one monitoring system to rule them all. Call it what you will but quite simply you will not ever again need or want another..

Everyone is talking today about cloud computing – we’re going way beyond clouds, we’re talking an El Niño storm!

If you hurry, you could also get your favourite ‘must have’ feature added to v3! Just post in our new feature requests forum – no promises but we’ll consider all suggestions – we may already have it on our todo list for v3 anyway.

Curious? Me too! ;)

If you want to know more, just signup (free!) for a ServerMojo account now and be on the right side of the barricades when the revolution arrives!

ServerMojo v2

Sunday, February 8th, 2009

The all new ServerMojo v2 is now online and running! :)

This new version is a complete and total rewrite of the entire system with more features, more monitor types, more account types, more alerts formats, cool new interface, even cooler charts and overall a fancy new environmentally friendly design (well its fairly green at least!).

If you were an existing ServerMojo user then your account has been imported and all your monitors should be running fine now.

If you had a free account before then it remains free now however you need to perform certain actions on the site to ‘recharge’ your account – actions include logging in and viewing your monitors and stats occasionally. Another action to keep your account active is to send us feedback on the new system – anything you like or don’t like about it? Found a bug? Any features you would like to see added? Also testimonials that we can publish on the site would be great! Feel free to send us any constructive criticism – if you think something sucks then we want to know so we can fix it! For extra bonus points – blog or twitter about how cool ServerMojo is now.. ;)

If you had a premium account in the old system then your account remains premium in the new system and is now converted to a ‘Small Biz’ account but the monthly fee for existing premiums remains unchanged.

Features in this new version include:

  • New monitor types such as http with authentication (can login to your site to check status), generic port monitor (enter an address and any port number and it will check for a response there), RegEx test – this monitor extracts and stores data from your page and is a premium feature.
  • Other monitor types that also existed in the old system include ping, dns, mysql, http, http + keyword.
  • Bigger, better and rather snazzy charts showing response time and either uptime or downtime along with hourly, daily, weekly, monthly and yearly statistics.
  • Monitoring is done from multiple geographically separated nodes and statistics show average global response times.
  • Alert types now including Email, IM (Jabber), Twitter, SMS and even RSS feeds.
  • Handy monitor overview page showing details and current status of all monitors in your account so you can get an instant look at your entire system health. This page refreshes automatically so you can just leave it open and whenever a server status changes you can see it easily.
  • Monitor frequency can be up to every minute depending on account type.
  • Traceroutes are performed immediately on server down and results are stored for later analysis – a premium feature.
  • Finally of course there is the whole new site design with much improved interface to manage your account and monitors.

We’re hopeful that once you’ve had some time to experience the awesomeness of the new ServerMojo you will consider upgrading to one of the premium packages and if you are not yet a ServerMojo user then do your servers a favour and please try a 100% free trial to one of our premium account packages – there’s no commitment or obligation and no billing details are collected so our trials are risk free. :)

Remember – red is bad! (unless you are a ManUtd fan or drive a Ferrari.)

Coming Soon..
