NMS for Windows Servers

The Nimsoft Monitoring Solution (NMS) for Windows servers offers comprehensive views of the entire Windows server environment, including CPU, disk, and memory; event logs, services, processes, and more.

With NMS, administrators can get the detailed, intuitive information they need to more proactively manage server performance and better ensure system reliability.

Monitoring Features that Yield Practical Insights

NMS for Windows servers consists of six probes that can be run in stand-alone fashion or simultaneously. These integrated solutions deliver maximum visibility into Windows performance and availability.

The solution is comprised of these probes: 

• CPU, Disk, and Memory Probe. The CDM Probe monitors key system components such as CPUs, Disks, and Memory, and detects critical bottlenecks before they have an impact on system performance. The CDM Probe automatically pre-scans the Windows systems and defines individual monitoring points and threshold values.
  
• Windows NT Event Log Probe. The Windows NT Event Log Probe automatically scans the NT/2000 Event log for essential information in the system, application and security log files, based on predefined monitoring criteria, eliminating the need for time-consuming and error-prone manual intervention. Sophisticated search facilities speed the criteria definition process and significantly reduce implementation time.
  
• Windows Services Probe. The Windows Services Probe detects any service that is not running according to its profile or that has stopped unexpectedly. It can trigger predefined automated restart or recovery actions before system performance is affected or outages occur. The Windows Services Probe collects information on system, application and network services and issues instant alerts when intervention is required.
  
• Processes Probe. The Processes Probe collects information on system, application and network processes, and monitors windows belonging to a Windows application. As soon as a process starts to fail or stops unexpectedly, the Processes Probe issues immediate alerts or launches pre-defined automated recovery and restart procedures.
  
• Windows Printer Probe. The Windows Printer Probe monitors all local and networked printers to achieve continuous availability. A printer that is not running according to its monitoring profile will be discovered at an early stage so that prompt corrective action can be taken before printing services are disrupted. The Windows Printer Probe collects information on printers and print jobs and issues instant alerts when intervention is required.
  
• Log File Probe. The Log File Probe scans ASCII-based log files and extracts pre-defined information automatically, eliminating the need for time-consuming and inherently error-prone manual intervention. Sophisticated built-in utilities allow the monitoring of very complex log files across your systems.
