FS Guard is a lightweight monitoring software that can monitor both folders and services on the Windows operating system. It has to be run on the monitored system and can inform the system administrator if specific events occur. It is by no means a complete monitoring solution and lacks the depth of other monitoring software programs like The Dude but makes up for it with simplicity.
It only takes a minute to select the folders or services that should be monitored. The functionality is limited to the following. Services can be monitored and the computer program can try to restart them if they are not running. It will notify the administrator after a set amount of failed attempts.
Folders of connected hard drives can also be monitored by FS Guard. It is possible to monitor them for size changes. If the size changes the system administrator will be informed as well.
The software is compatible with Windows XP and Windows Vista and will most likely run on Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008 as well although that is not mentioned on the developer’s homepage. It Pros will miss features that they are used to work with like executing programs or taking screenshots of the situation.
The monitoring software FS Guard might come in handy on the other hand for users who are satisfied with these basic options.
