SMTP Monitoring Tool Helps Troubleshoot Email Server Health Issues Faster
Identify performance issues before they impact your email services
SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor (SAM) is designed to proactively monitor SMTP servers and their ability to accept incoming connections and respond with the correct code. Get notified when the response time is below expectations and resolve the potential issue before it escalates and impacts your email services.
Monitor SMTP service availability
SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor (SAM) is designed to proactively monitor SMTP servers and their ability to accept incoming connections and respond with the correct code. Get notified when the response time is below expectations and resolve the potential issue before it escalates and impacts your email services.
Comprehensively monitor server hardware health
SAM’s SMTP monitoring tool also provides a detailed view of the health status and performance of your multi-vendor server hardware. SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor notifies you before critical mail server components, such as fan speed, temperature, power supply, CPU, battery, and hard drive status, fail. Quickly identify and resolve server hardware issues for Dell PowerEdge, HP ProLiant, IBM eServer xSeries servers, Dell PowerEdge Blade, HP BladeSystem enclosures, Microsoft Windows Server, and VMware vSphere hypervisor.
Manage server capacity and forecast resources
SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor (SAM) includes built-in capacity forecast charts and metrics to help easily identify when server resources reach warning and critical thresholds. Server & Application Monitor enables users to perform the following tasks.
- Track peak and average capacity over time to make accurate capacity forecasts
- Find and fix server capacity issues before they impact end-user productivity and business performance
Monitor a dashboard of key metrics for SMTP, IMAP, and POP3 email protocols, including response time, CPU load, memory utilization, network latency, packet loss, email delivery issues, uptime or downtime, and more, to plan for capacity and resource utilization
These components can also monitor email messages sent to a designated SMTP server, retrieve the messages using IMAP and POP3, and measure the round-trip time (from send to receive).

Do you find yourself asking…
- The Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) enables a mail server and other message transfer agents to both send and receive digital messages. Think of SMTP as being the primary communication protocol behind the inbound and outbound transmission of emails. SMTP monitoring software not only authenticates an SMTP mail server’s ability to accept incoming sessions, but also positions an SMTP mail server to promptly respond. Each SMTP server maintains a unique address and, therefore, needs to be set up within the mail client you are using.
