Windows Server Operating system is designed to run on servers which operate within a client-server architecture. These servers are usually designed to handle heavy workloads and serve as the backbone of most software operations involved in businesses. Therefore, Windows server monitoring is crucial to businesses in order to prevent any loss of service due to performance issues and to maintain the seamless flow of operations. Using Windows server monitoring tool, you can increase the performance and availability of Windows by fast detection and troubleshooting of errors and error patterns preceding system failure.
ManageEngine Applications Manager's Windows server monitoring tool provides an agentless approach to Windows service monitoring with its out of the box monitoring capabilities. Monitor Windows server performance and ensure that key performance attributes such as CPU, memory, disk utilizations are within permissible usage and ensure that applications hosted on these servers always run at peak performance.
With Applications Manager's Windows server monitor, you'll be able to maintain an optimal overall health and availability of your Windows server by monitoring all the key Windows performance counters including details pertaining to all the Windows processes and services running on the system. Applications Manager's Windows monitor ensures that your server performance issues do not become a cause for business downtime.
Tracking CPU and Disk utilizations is very important because they reveal power consumption stats and also play a crucial role in measuring the load and analyzing performance issues. A processor package usually consists of multiple cores with dynamically changing frequencies and shared caches. Applications Manager's Windows server performance monitoring tool extensively shows the CPU utilization with the break up of individual core utilizations and their status. Regulate the disk usage by closely monitoring disk utilization with disk wise break-up and I/O statistics and ensure that performance bottlenecks are nipped in the bud.
Applications Manager Windows server performance monitor also collects network performance stats such as input traffic, output traffic, network errors , speed, etc. For all round Windows performance monitoring, users can also add Windows processes, services and scripts to monitor within Applications Manager.
