SysAdmin Tools for the iPhone
The iPhone offers a superb opportunity for system administrators to keep an eye on their computer devices, servers and network.  Most web-enabled monitoring services provide an iPhone app free of charge, so you really don't need to weigh up the pros and cons!  You will typically get basic reporting, maybe a few configuration/provisioning options, and usually all the alerts you have already configured.
		
	
        
        Here are my essential tools:
Chartbeat
This gives you a neat, realtime report of visitors to your website(s), and a summary of page load times.  It requires a paid monthly subscription.
    
    Server Density
This app is a mini view of the paid-for web service that monitors your dedicated servers and gives resource usage stats and customisable alerts.
Pingdom
A service that pings services relevant to web hosting, Pingdom can flag up issues with your site connectivity. It has many POPs (points of presence) to give you a broader picture, and will alert you when your site is down.
