Monitoring Microsoft XP/Vista/2000/2003

How frequently are you monitoring the disk usage on your Windows servers? Are you aware of the fact that many server applications, including Exchange(r) will fail if it runs out of disk space. And it may currupt the database so you may have to restorte a backup of the whole database after freeing disk space. A seriously time consuming event with high risk of data loss.  The Host Resource Monitor of Q3ADE 3G will monitor you disks and generate alarms soon enough to give you time to resolve the issue before it leads to catastrophic failures.

How frequently are you monitoring the Windows Event Log? Serious problems like security breaches, configruation errors etc. which has resulted in system failures, could have been  detected and resolved at an early state by checking the Windows Event Log. The Windows Event Log Monitor of Q3ADE 3G captures the major events and generates alarms that catches your attention.

The Host Resource Monitor

Host Resources like disk, memory and CPU'se may be monitored on hosts with the SNMP service enabled.

You get a graphical illustration of the actual status of the resources.

The CPU monitor also captures the CPU'se history, which may be displayed by a click on the CPU meter.

 Each resource monitor may issue an alarm if the resource usage exceeds a specified level (as in the picture, where the C-disk space is more than 90% full. The alarm levels can be tailored individually as needed.

The Windows Event Log Monitor

The Windows Event Log is a key information resource to the health of a Windows Server. Q3ADE 3G therefore monitors the Event Logs of Windows Servers.

The Windows Log is displayed in a windows-like fashion including lead text and additional information attached to the events.

You may browse the Windows Event Log of all Windows Servers.

The Windows Event Log Monitor by default issues alarms on Error and Warning events. But you may profile the alarm generation down to individual types of windows events. Imagine that this function, combined with the automatic AMF alert function, allows you to set up an automatic alert via e-mail to the system administration, e.g. if some device or application fails abnormally. Ultimately, you may even design your own scripts scanning through the windows event log to pick up and process any windows event on any windows computer for any purpose.
