That's reasonable. You are the first to ask. I'll put it up on my website tonight.
Care to share what it is that you hope to accomplish with it?

2012-02-03T09:59:23.417-08:00

If this project is truly now "open source" as stated above, you're required by that standard to have a link to the source code in an easy-to-find place. I only bring it up cause I'm trying to get the Event Log Monitor to notify me when someone logs into one of my application servers. I'm not even sure if this project CAN do what I need, but being able to view the source would help me work out the details as the field descriptions are kind of ambiguous and I can't find any examples of what to put in the fields anywhere. Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance! :)

With version 1.1.0, you have to manually edit the configuration file. With version 1.2.0, I have written a configurator app to do the editing for you. It should be out soon.

Hi. I'm Skip. I am maintaining this project now. It is open source, so if anyone wants to help, just let me know. A new release will be coming out Very Soon (hopefully in the next day or two). Even if you can't help with the coding, just leaving feedback here will help me decide what features to work on next.
Cheers! :)

Quinn, Skip, and everyone else who is interested: I planning to open-source this code and am looking for someone to take ownership of the project. Check out http://groups.google.com/group/growl-for-windows/browse_thread/thread/bfe5c44acdb0e01a for more info.

2011-04-22T06:10:02.764-07:00

+1 for clock monitoring "It's 2:00PM", etc
+1 for system log source and category filter monitoring
Would also like to be able to mute notifications. If I have system monitor pinging a resource every X minutes, when that resource goes down, I get notified every X minutes. Would be nice if I could mute just that notification type for a configurable period of time.
Like @Quinn Ebert suggested, this might be a good app to go open source. I think it could do quite a lot with all the collective minds working on it.
Great app, by the way.

Greetings,

Any plans to make this open source (if it isn't already--granted I haven't totally perused the main distribution)? I'd love to help deal with some odd issues, especially the app's pull on CPU when it checks with WMI for USB dis/connected devices (it incurs a huge performance penalty, at least on my desktop).

Would love to be able to help, if I can...

Thanks for these wonderful programs!

Awesome product. Got it monitoring internal websites that alert my iPhone through Prowl.

Would love some port & processor monitoring, and maybe some MySQL server monitor (or that could just be a mysqld.exe process monitor)!

Great job!

2010-07-20T17:21:25.135-07:00

Is there any documentation on what different types of notifications can be used etc?

I am trying to see if there is a way to add a notification to let me know if an ip address is unreachable and then becomes reachable etc.
I don't want a notification every interval if it is down, only if the stat has changed since the last attempt. So if it has been down for days, then get a notification when it comes up, and then another one when it goes down again.

Thanks

2010-05-11T14:30:43.314-07:00

Ping portion does not work for me. I have had things running overnight and wondered if they "were" in fact working... so I unplugged the network cable on the computer being monitored thru Ping, I then waited for 35 minutes with no alerts that the ip was not responding to pings. I did not get an alert until after I restarted the System Monitor.

2010-05-02T17:21:45.088-07:00

@Laertes - the System Monitor app doesnt do anything to the normal Windows balloons, so whether it is installed or uninstalled, you should get your normal Windows balloons the same as always.

I recently uninstalled this app and am having a problem. How do I get the ballons (Windows 7) to pop up again? No ballons come up, and in the taskbar settings show all icons and notifications is CHECKED. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium, 32 bit.

I would like it to display time as well. Like the SnarlClock "it's 2 o' clock" message.
Maybe in a next version?

2010-02-03T09:39:13.344-08:00

@Nick - i have never seen that specific notification, but i assume you are right that it is Windows disabling stuff internally. i am assuming this is a USB-related notification (check the icon to see which type it is). if so, you can set GfW to not show USB-related notifications at all (but you would not get any others either). there is no way to suppress just one specific notification like that.

2010-02-02T08:18:27.508-08:00

I get a notification every so often saying that the "microsoft kernel audio driver" has been added and removed. I'm assuming it has something to do with Windows disabling idle hardware drivers... but I can't seem to figure out how to stop it. Quite annoying. Any ideas?

2009-11-04T06:33:24.491-08:00

Excellent plugin. Would like to see a process watcher as well- for instance, notify when/if the virusscan kicks off, or if a process ends (something dies unexpectedly).

Overall, can see much usage. Would be easier to eval if the included XML started with everything on as an example.
