Project Kabuto by RepairTech

Looks good and I am interested, but the pop up about defragging and a tune-up sounds a bit spammy to me - I'm hoping you can set variables so you only get an alert for a pending disaster, such as a SMART warning or Anti-Virus not working/updating etc.
 
Great thanks Ian. My business clients wouldn't appreciate a high level of pop-ups, but would like to be warned of anything major. Will the no Anti-Virus detect expired/not updated anti-virus or just literally no anti-virus being installed?

This looks like a promising tool to add to my arsenal (as long as the price is right!!).

BUMP.

I just wanted to say that Kabuto launched yesterday. I have already started using it and it has some great stuff.

Definitely check it out if you are interested.

Just saw this. Thanks! Since launching, we've had a ton of feature requests and have already made a bunch of improvements. It's exciting to see how people are using it, and to see how it can grow in many directions.

Let me know if you have any questions,

Ian
 
I've installed it on a few machines. I wish it provided more detailed information. It does provide a means for a client to get a message to me via email which makes it easy for them to use. There's just no granularity to it. Is that in the works?
 
Hey Mike - When you say more detailed information, what do you mean? See attached screenshots for the system information and the request information you'd get (examples). What would you want added?

Hey, Ian. I guess I wasn't very clear. I'm referring to the monitoring mostly, though I'm probably comparing very different products. I'm currently trialing Maxfocus which also provides monitoring and system information, just seems to be more extensive in it's capabilities. Yeah, apples & kiwi fruit in some ways. Perhaps the option to check Windows services (selectively), and AV updates. Knowing that AV is installed only goes so far.
 
Hey Mike - We will be adding a lot more triggers and system information soon. Would love to know what you'd like to have added, and I'll put it on the dev queue.

What if there was a tab for Windows Services, where you could see all of the existing ones? Would that work?

Actually, that would be great! Not every instance will have the same desired services, so maybe the ability to start/stop as well? Don't know how much more it requires to provide the ability to interact that way, but seeing that something is amiss is one thing, being able to interact with it is another.
 
The vast majority of the issues are driver related. See breakdown below. Apparently people still need to defrag their hard drives, yes.

Data may not be 100% accurate, and will probably change over time as devices have more time to...break. Kabuto launched less than a month ago, so there isn't enough data collected yet. So take it for what it's worth.

On another note, does the program keep a history for each metric? In some instances I imagine it would be ok for a metric to go over a threshold but it would not be ok for it to regularly go over a threshold. One that comes to mind is cpu temp. It would be ok for it to peak once in a while for a short time but if it peaks regularly or for long periods then that becomes a problem. And are these thresholds adjustable? Again, for cpu temp 90 degrees might be ok for some machines but is fatal for others. In other words I'd want to know if it was going over 70 degrees.

Coming from a monitoring background, I can give you a bunch of metrics people will ask for.

Yeah the only reason we haven't added temperature stuff yet is because the triggers will work slightly differently than all the others we have. But yes, I imagine they'll work pretty much exactly like you stated. You'd be able to set a temperature threshold and a time interval.

Regarding the history of each metric: That's something we want to develop. It's already on the dev queue.
