App: Network Logger IT
Developer: Lyle Andrews
Genres: Utilities, Business

Network Logger IT has the same features as Network Logger Pro but can also email you reports when device monitoring or internet connection events occur.

Network Logger IT will notify any number of recipients via email when a web site or network device being monitored goes down or has service restored, or after an internet service outage on your local internet connection. Emailed reports include outage times, duration and the number of failed requests made during the outage.

Log your network outages, graph speeds over time, and more.  Network Logger IT can monitor your web sites and produce historical graphs of their speeds, outages, and response times.

If there are certain times of day or week that your web site slows down or has an outage, Network Logger IT will show you. You can end flaky web site performance nightmares right now by catching them in the act and providing irrefutable documentation of what has been happening to your provider or IT department.   An Apple network engineer has told us they use Network Logger to track internal and external networks at Apple in their group.

You can export URL speed graphs as PDFs, or copy the web site outage log, or the network outage log and quickly show tech support or colleagues what you are experiencing in a way that enables them to understand what’s going on at a glance.

 • The company website is down.
 • The smart TV in Johnny's bedroom has been turned on.
 • The IP security camera by the garage went down.
 • The online store payment gateway is not responding.
