Monitoring SSD lifespan in the new version of 10-Strike Network Monitor Pro 6.9

News, Updates , 0 Comments

In the new version of the 10-Strike Network Monitor Pro program, we have expanded the S.M.A.R.T. hard drive health monitoring check and added the ability to monitor the SSD lifespan (the remaining resource, i.e. the write endurance – how much data can be written to it over its lifetime).

Let’s monitor the health of your SSD

SSDs have a limited resource of rewriting cycles. Conventional disks allow you to write data approximately 3,000-10,000 times, which is considered a guaranteed resource. Expensive types of memory have about hundreds of thousands of rewriting cycles. This parameter depends on the manufacturer, the specific model of the drive and is usually specified in the documentation for it. When the SSD resource is running out, the drive switches to the read-only mode in advance. The system installed on such a drive may not work correctly after this. To avoid such a situation of the SSD blocking/bricking, it is necessary to monitor the percentage of the remaining lifespan of the drive.

Now it is very convenient to do this using the program’s S.M.A.R.T. health monitoring check.ssd lifespan monitoring parameters

For NVMe drives, you just need to set the remaining lifespan threshold, and for all other solid-state drives, the program will ask you to enter two parameters that you will need to find in the SSD description on the manufacturer’s website.

Monitoring Wi-Fi signal strength

We have added a new check that can be used to monitor wifi signal strength, wifi routers, and access points.wifi signal monitoring parameters

Connect a Wi-Fi adapter to the monitoring server, select a wifi network whose signal level you want to monitor and set the alert threshold.

Convenient dashboard

We thought that a panel with check indicators to the right of the hosts would be more convenient than a separate dashboard window.network monitoring dashboard

Although it can still be opened in a separate window to be moved to a separate screen.

 

All changes in version 6.9 in a list:

  • Pro: Added the SSD health and lifespan monitoring (in the “S.M.A.R.T.” HDD monitoring check).
  • Added the Wi-Fi signal strength monitoring check. With its help, you can monitor the Wi-Fi signal strength and other parameters on routers and access points.
  • Added the POST request authorization type to the Web/HTTP(S) check.
  • Added the redirect support in the web page content check.
  • We have moved the Dashboard to a separate tab at the Check List level. You can easily switch between widgets of various checks.
  • Added the user account management and configuration of the login/password substitution to authorization fields on different forms.
  • Added the WMI availability support to the Network Scanning Wizard.
  • Added the ability to create default performance checks for hosts found on the network.
  • Added the ability to create a group of checks of network interface parameters for a host in the monitoring list.
  • Pro: Added the ability to disable monitoring servers so that a button with an error message does not appear if they are not working.
  • Added a check for the text string existence on a web page during a test run.
  • Added coloring of the dashboard widget title to the color of the check status.
  • Added ability to select encoding for messages sent to Syslog.
  • Added viewing of the text of SNMP trap, Syslog messages, and current events in a separate window.
  • Pro: Improved the migration of the database and settings when changing the storage folder.
  • Fixed erroneous substitution of host name and address when editing bulk host parameters.
  • Pro: Fixed inaccuracies in the positioning of objects when scaling the map. Icons and lines no longer slide out.
