The ServerSentinel application was designed to be a network monitoring software. It enables the user to query parameters of distributed computing facilities and to measure latency times while performing service requests.
 
The collected data is logged into a relational database and can later be used to analyse system failures or utilisation shortages. The software consists of two components, a Windows Service which reads out parameters of the supervised endpoints and a graphical user interface that enables an operator to configure the system.
