Core Tip: Microsoft provides some local tools to implement Windows server monitor. But in general, administrators want or need to know more about the environment to pay attention to performance, memory consumption, capacity and overall system health. There are various free third-party Windows server monitor tools that can help.

There are various free third-party Windows server monitor tools that can help.
Nagios. This open source tool provides management suite function, which was originally used as a network management system. After that, Nagios gradually enriched its functions, such as adding the monitoring function of data center system, including Windows server. Nagios monitors the performance of Windows services, such as Internet Information Services (IIS), Exchange servers and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). If the service slows down or stops, the tool will prompt the administrator to respond.
Windows Health Monitor. ManageEngine's Windows Health Monitor can manage up to 10 Windows servers and track server memory consumption, disk usage, bandwidth capacity and application performance. If the server resource usage exceeds the preset threshold, the administrator will be notified.
Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) management tool. This tool is an interface specification of a set of computer subsystems, which manages and monitors CPU, firmware and operating system independently of the host system. IPMI management tools perform common server management functions, such as viewing firmware logs and handling out-of-band communication, so they can minimize the impact of network problems. IPMI allows administrators to manage computers that are turned off or unresponsive.
CN = monitor. cn = monitor provides a directory server monitor tool for lightweight directory access protocol (LDAP). Because for enterprise networks, performance is the key to providing quality services. CN=Monitor verifies system replication, checks clusters and load balancers, evaluates system mode, and monitors cache size. The tool can also evaluate trends and generate email alerts when needed. The system enables companies to ensure that server configuration is implemented according to specified standards.
As a service monitoring tool, this software checks which servers have capacity problems, so that administrators can take corrective measures before problems occur. Specify process priority according to memory or CPU consumption. The system monitors the health and availability of servers in cloud, physical or mixed environments, and can achieve more than 690 billion indicators every day, involving more than 4 million applications.
