DashIT is a small webbased monitoring tool checking for email messages from multiple servers (like backup servers) and displaying servers red, yellow or green if the message was an error message, is overdue or a success message. Whether a message is considered to be an error message is done by search for user-configured strings or regular expressions in the message text. For each server you can browse through all the messages sent by a server and view the content of the message.

DashIT provides possibilities to

configure the interval in which messages should arrive. If a scheduled message is overdue, the server will be marked yellow.
configure exceptions in the interval. Often tools are e.g. scheduled to run daily, but not on the weekend. It is possible to reflect this in DashIT by adding exceptions for a server (like Sat 0 - Sun 23).
use regular expressions as rules to determine if a message is a success or an error message.
Send e-mail notification when an error message arrives, e.g. to a ticket system. DashIT won't send multiple notifications for multiple error messages in a row, so your inbox/ticket system won't get flooded.
