Network Logger 1.1

Network Logger records URL response times, graphs key facts about the uptime and performance of your web sites and creates an outage log for your local internet connection over the long term. See the download speeds or response times of a particular URL graphed over time, even weeks or months. This creates a clear picture of what is going on with both those particular web sites and your local internet connection.

Active monitoring like Network Logger does is the only way to produce an accurate outage log. An optional speech synthesis feature announces when your internet connection goes down and up which can be handy when you are working on your network in another room and saves you from walking back and forth to check your network status.

All features are visible in the screen shots below, including:

• Network Outage Log
• Website Outage Logs
• Website Transmission Speed Graphs
• Website Response Time Graphs

How often do you experience outages on your internet connection? Network Logger will tell you. Are you getting the speed and uptime you are paying for on your internet connection and web sites? Do they slow down before, during, or after specific holidays or times of year?

You can also use Network Logger to graph the speed of your internet connection over time if you enter an appropriate speed test URL. The manual provides details on how to do this.

A screen full of Network Logger windows creating graphs as multiple URLs are monitored also looks great in a data center or as a prop on a movie set.

Get the information you need to speak knowledgeably with your internet provider, web hosting service, IT staff and other geeks. Network Logger provides an easy way to record and share the facts.

Here is a review from the Canadian app store that demonstrates a real world use of Network Logger:


My DSL has been dropping its connection (losing sync) about a ten times a day. This wouldn`t be a huge problem for just casual surfing, but it brings down my VPN connection every time and everything running over that connection, which is a big hassle. Network Logger has been invaluable in documenting for my ISP just how frequently my connection goes down. When I called my ISP with this information, I got to 2nd level support almost immediately, without even being asked if it`s plugged in, or to turn it off and turn it on again.

I`m getting a backup cable connection later this week, but last time I used this company a few years ago, they were providing less than 50% of advertised speeds, so I`m looking forward to also using Network Logger to monitor that I`m getting what I pay for.

All in all, a great tool with lots of different uses. Very handy to have in your toolbox whether you need to constantly monitor a site, or just to have around for occasional use when your network or site starts behaving oddly.
