  • The ability to define the interval between IP address checks (in minutes.)
  • The ability to customize the alert message

Priority 2 - Local Network Power Health (overall on/off toggle) (Second Tab?)
  • The ability to ping 2 user defined IP address's (for the purpose of monitoring power conditions of the local network. on/off toggle per IP address)
  • The ability to alert (through email or text message) the server admins if a power failure is detected (on/off toggle)
                - Power loss is determine by lack of response from BOTH address' after X attempts.
  • The ability to define the number of failed ping attempts before a power loss is reported.

  • The ability to customize both alert messages

Priority 3 - Setting Storage

Priority 4 - Boot Alert (Third Tab?)
  • An Alert message when program starts (for use when the server "reboots") that monitoring is active (on/off toggle).
  • The ability to customize the alert message.

Priority 4 - Query Box (When the program is closed BY THE USER possibly via Exit Buttons on ALL Tabs?)
  • A custom text box for custom user alerts when they take the server offline for updates etc.
  • Sends upon confirmation of the exit query.
  • An alert message when the server is taken offline and the query is left blank
                - Default text "The Server was taken offline by an Admin for unknown reasons."

Priority 5 - Delayed Program Launcher (Fourth Tab?)
  • The ability to call up to 5 (for now) exe files.
  • The ability to set a timeline (in minutes) for calling the exe files.
  • A customizable alert message when server has reached full functionality (on/off toggle).
                 - example: Server self boots after power loss. Server auto launches this Monitoring program. Monitor Program alerts that server has rebooted (Boot Alert Function above). Server waits X delay and launches program Y. Server waits A delay and launches program B. etc. Monitor Program alerts that server has reached full function.
