I waited years for James Sentman to get around to updating Whistleblower for the newer APC equipment. Sadly, that hasn't happened (yet).
But on the bright side, it forced me to find a modern solution, and with Simon, I've got all the control over my alerts and AP7900 that I need. Server monitoring is back, and with Simon, I feel unleashed from the server room again. The developer has been open and responsive to questions about the product and feature enhancements. Once I outgrow my $60 license, it'll be a no-brainer to move up to Enterprise.

I wasn't expecting too much when I started using Simon; I had used various open source monitoring packages and figured Simon was just going to be a nice GUI to do basically the same thing. I WAS WRONG. Simon is full of nice touches and is a very polished package. The flexibility in setting up a variety of tests and customising the different notifications is simply amazing. And it is so easy to configure. The developer is also very helpful and responsive. This is by far the best software I have purchased this year (& maybe will be all year).
But more to the point, it has already saved me money by giving me a notification about a misbehaving server before the problem became a serious issue.

I tried it with facebook and it reported a change everytime it connected. There is no doubt that if I analyze the structure of the facebook page and find exactly the places where a change is of interest to me, then I may be able to configure it. But it would be nice if Dejal Simon could do it automatically: what I'm interested in are the things you don't get notified by facebook:
• somebody writes on the wall of a group of your choice
• there are new members in a group of your choice
The developer told me there will be a plug-in for facebook, I hope it will do this.
