EventSentray (Tray Application)

EventSentray is a background application that resides in the system tray and provides the user with a system status of the host where it's running on.

 

Tray Icon

The tray icon is dynamic and will show the EventSentry logo by default. Hovering over the icon will show the current host name along with the current uptime. The app monitors the CPU and disk queue length in the background and will dynamically change the tray icon to either a CPU or DISK icon if high utilization is detected:

 

cpu-front-error@32px

 

CPU Alert: CPU usage 85% or higher

cpu-front-warning@32px

 

CPU Warning: CPU usage 70% or higher

hard-disk-warning@32px

Disk Warning: Disk queue length 3 or higher

 

Internet Test

Verifies the current Internet connection by performing a number of tests every second.

 

DNS: Verifies whether a DNS query was successful.

Gateway: If available, pings the gateway IP address

Packet Loss / Delay: Ping results

IP Address / Hostname: Public IP address and host name (if available)

WiFi SSID: The current Wifi SSID, if adapter is connected to a WiFi network

The sytem information dialog shows additional performance stats and system information and can be displayed by either double-clicking the tray icon or by right-clicking the icon and selecting "System Information".
