iStatus – Connectivity Monitor vs WebCheck2 Usage & Stats
iStatus® is a user-friendly, IoT-based, distributed network monitoring solution. Designed for everyday users and network administrators, iStatus allows you to monitor your Internet connections or network targets from within your network; no messy configurations or compromising your secure networks. Typically, you never know when these networks are offline, experiencing congestion, or new devices were inadvertently connected until it's too late. With iStatus, you'll become the first to know and be able to take appropriate actions immediately, thus shortening downtime, achieving RTOs (recovery time objectives), and saving you money.
Features:
• iStatus ConnectionValidation™ - patented technology to continuously test and validate both primary and secondary Internet connections (even if a failover connection isn’t currently in use). Ensures that if issues occur on connections or SD-WAN configurations, they don’t go unnoticed.
• iStatus Hardware Probes - low-cost and low-footprint, these devices allow you to cost-effectively monitor any network segments. Simply plug and play, these probes monitor the network from the inside.
• iStatus Dashboard – cloud-based management platform to give you a single-pane overview of all remote location’s Internet connections. Easily drill down to see when and where issues occur for proactive management.
• iStatus IntelligentAlerts™ - keep you up-to-date with the current status of your network connectivity, delivered right to your smartphone, device, or via a bundled email.
• iStatus CongestionMonitoring™ - tracks intermittent and sustained network congestion issues that weren’t previously observable by IT staff or management. Key information is used to improve the quality of service, enact traffic shaping, or diagnose bandwidth issues.
• iStatus Network Performance Monitoring (NPM)™ - add-on AI monitoring of additional network targets beyond Internet connections. Monitor key cloud applications and APIs, local network devices, IoT devices, bandwidth sufficiency, and detect congestion and latency issues to improve network health.
•iStatus ArpWatch™ - add-on network security to detect new and rogue devices. ArpWatch also detects network gateway changes, ARP poisoning, and man-in-the-middle attacks to offer further insight and 24/7 monitoring on secure network segments.

Ever wish you knew how long the Internet was down last night? WebCheck2 pings several Web addresses commonly used by Internet Professionals to watch for dropouts in your connectivity. Interruptions caused by your ISP, your local telephone or cable line, your router or hub, your wireless connection or even the WiFi on your iPhone®,iPod touch®or iPad® are detected and can be recorded in a log file. You can also supply WebCheck2 with up to six URLs of your own choice to be pinged along with those built-in to the App. Additionally, any of these URLs can be “disabled” (that is, not included in the list of pinged URLs) or “enabled” as you deem fit.
USER NOTE: Be aware that a poorly typed alphanumeric URL such as “Asherdftffdf” may in fact result in a successful ping. This all depends on the ability of the Web’s Domain Name System (DNS) servers to produce an Internet Protocol (IP) address (URL) that corresponds to this string of characters.
Also note that there are some servers that do not support the Ping Packets and will therefore not respond to WebCheck2.
Here’s a brief list of WebCheck2’s features.
Automatically does nearly continuous checks of your Internet connection status
Can record pertinent information into a log file, complete with time and date stamps.
The log file can be printed to a WiFi printer
WebCheck2 can stay in foreground so logging is continuous.
WebCheck2 will dim the screen after 2 minutes of hands-off operation. Any touch will restore the screen to its previous brightness level.
WebCheck2’s functionality is available on two screens.
The Front Screen:
Web Availability is indicated by a Green Light
Log file generation can be started or stopped
The total connection up time and connection down time for the most recent logging session are displayed.
A simulated oscilloscope screen shows a nice animation of an outgoing pulse whenever a ping has started and an animated “echo” image when the ping is successful.
Sounds corresponding to the beginning of a ping, the end of a ping, Web Up, Web Down and button clicks are provided.
The Back Screen:
Web Availability is indicated by a Green Light
Log file generation can be started or stopped
The log file can be viewed at any time.
The log file can be printed to a WiFi printer if desired.
During logging, events such as gaps in connectivity, ping failures, starting and stopping monitoring, exiting and restarting WebCheck2 while monitoring are recorded in the log file, along with time and date stamps.
The log file can be cleared out at any time.
All sounds can be individually muted or un-muted
The built-in URLs can be removed from the pinging list via a touch as desired.
Up to six user URLs can be added to the list of those pinged.
