I remember seeing a simple management product that would parse event view files and alert via pager or e-mail based on pre-defined alert levels, etc., but I cannot remember the name/manaufacturer of the product.

Can anyone recommend such a product for a customer that has a small NT network but needs some level of management?

Thanks.

Have a look at ServersAlive http://www.woodstone.nu/salive/ using one of the free scripts you can monitor Event ID's. Click on the external checks link. When the event ID you are worried about appears you will get paged/emailed/SMS etc.

Its all free up to monitoring ten hosts, then $69US to register. I started using it on our network about 1 1/2 years ago. Terrific product. Fantastic support via the mailing list. Of course it can do tons more that just this.

Hope this helps

You might want to look in to Insight Manager. I don't think it is exactly what you're looking for, but it does have email and paging alerts at a fairly basic level. (ex. server inaccesible)

Sorry, you might also want to try Performance monitor. It has the capability ro set alerts that are much more detailed than Event Viewer. (ie. if your disk space falls below a certain level you are emailed, etc.)
