Server Monitoring

2012-08-25 Thread Corneliu I. Tusnea 
Hi DotNetters,

Any one has any recommendations for a service/platform/application that I
can use for monitoring my cloud servers (W2K8,SQL2K8)?
I'd like to monitor classic stuff: availability, IIS, SQL, maybe a bit of
disk and CPU. The only important one really is availability (http/https).

Regards,
Corneliu

If money is no object, SolarWinds

If you want something vaguely approximate that is cheaper: WhatsUpGold.

I thought 'splunk' was the 'money is no object' option?

It's got a free option we are considering but soon as you step above that's
it's a nightmare for cost.

Splunk is more of a log analysis tool than monitoring software per se.

If you want expensive, then there’s always BMC Patrol, IBM Tivoli, and to a 
lesser extent Microsoft SCOM.

Cheers

You can also look to utilize something like N-Able N-Central. It is template 
based, you can utilize snmp, wmi etc. to design your own templates and it does 
all what you have mentioned out of the box for multiple sites.

Thank you
Jiri
