ExclamationSoft Corporation announces the release of WebWatchBot version 5.0 , the latest upgrade to its performance monitoring software for web-based applications, servers, and network infrastructure. WebWatchBot 5.0 offers a dual approach to performance monitoring, allowing companies to monitor application performance from an end-user perspective while also keeping a close eye on individual infrastructure components such as routers, servers, databases, processes, and events.

The cumulative impact of minor bottlenecks and other problems across the infrastructure can result in poor end-user response time and lost productivity. Troubleshooting performance problems can be frustrating and time consuming for IT staff due to the sheer number of variables in today’s complex web application architectures. WebWatchBot 5.0 eases this burden by proactively monitoring the end-user response time and all components of the infrastructure, providing administrators with early alerts to potential problems and detailed trouble shooting information.

WebWatchBot 5.0 is an agent-less monitoring tool, which means that nothing is installed on the server or network component being monitored. Instead, WebWatchBot 5.0 uses industry standard protocol to execute watch items as defined by administrators. For example, using WebWatchBot’s transaction recorder feature, an administrator can re-create a typical end-user transaction such as logging in, retrieving an account, processing a request, viewing data, and logging out. WebWatchBot 5.0 will execute this transaction at pre-determined intervals and alert designated staff to potential performance problems. The transaction recorder, baseline values, and the ability to quickly create and copy configurations from a template allow administrators to begin monitoring in just minutes after installing WebWatchBot 5.0.

Real-time performance charts, trend analysis, and management-ready SLA reports make required compliance reporting fast and easy.

"Our customers have gained tremendous value by using the Web as an efficient and cost-effective way of deploying critical business applications and information to customers, employees and partners around the world. The ongoing availability and performance of these web-based applications is critical to their success," said Karen Wyatt, Co-founder of ExclamationSoft. "Monitoring with WebWatchBot 5.0 allows companies to protect their IT investments, meet service level agreements and reduce support costs."

WebWatchBot 5.0 runs on Windows 2000, 2003, XP, or NT operating system. Pricing for WebWatchBot Enterprise starts at $1249.95(US).
