TinyMonitor was written out of pure necessity for a simple
monitoring program that watched the actual content of returned pages
rather than simply checking to see if the httpd service was running.
(Experience has proven that the web server running doesn't necessarily
mean it's reporting the content you want.).
This program can be used for simple web server monitoring (i.e. is it
actually delivering content?) or can be used to verify a page is
returning what you expect (i.e. a 200 rather than a 404). This is an
excellent choice for someone who doesn't want to spend thousands on a
program that will do actual http content monitoring (i.e. SiteScope or
HP OpenView Internet Services).
Further necessity has prompted me to add support to monitor the load
average on a particular server. Sometimes a high load average means
a simple page can be returned succesfully, but your overall performance
will suffer.
