CROOKED ARM OFFERS SNEAK PEAK OF EAVESDROP AT MACWORLD EXPO
Eavesdrop Grants FileMaker Pro Database Administrators Unprecedented Server Monitoring and Notification Capabilities
"Eavesdrop fills a void in the FileMaker administrator’s took
kit," said Stuart Gripman, founder and president of Crooked Arm.
"Never before has there been a tool that will automatically monitor
your FileMaker servers for system availability, file availability,
and user status."
“Most administrators learn of a server problem when a frantic user
calls," Gripman continued. "The user only knows he can’t open a
database so the administrator has to go on a fishing expedition to
track down the problem. Eavesdrop corrects that in two ways: by
notifying the administrator of a problem prior to the frantic call,
and by providing the administrator with informative clues via
custom email and on-screen alerts."
"beezwax datatools has seen its share of server issues over the
years, which can happen at the most inopportune times," said Julian
Nadel, president of beezwax datatools, inc. "The Eavesdrop design
provides a logical and sorely needed notification capability for
any server administrator.. So far, Eavesdrop looks quite promising
for FileMaker developers who want to go mobile themselves, making
freedom an exciting prospect."
Eavesdrop is a customizable server administrator's tool, allowing
for monitoring of overall system availability, specific file
availability and specific user status. Running invisibly in the
background of Mac OS X, Eavesdrop can be configured to provide
information notifications to administrators directly on screen, or
using email, which can be forwarded to remote SMS-compatible
devices such as a cell phone or PDA. Eavesdrop supports password
protected FileMaker Servers.
