Key Features

Extensive Windows Server Monitoring Coverage

CA Nimsoft Monitor for Windows servers gives you maximum visibility into Windows server performance and availability—monitoring these areas:

CPU, disk, and memory.
CA Nimsoft Monitor tracks key system components such as CPUs, disks, and memory, and detects critical bottlenecks—before they have an impact on system performance.
Event logs.
CA Nimsoft Monitor scans Windows system, application, and security log files, based on your predefined monitoring criteria. This eliminates manual, error-prone log file inspection.
Services.

Processes.
The solution collects information on system, application, and network processes. If a process starts to fail or stops unexpectedly, automated recovery and restart procedures or alarms can be triggered.
Printers.
CA Nimsoft Monitor can trace the performance of all local and networked printers, and instantly notify you of outages or degraded performance, providing the insights you need to achieve continuous availability.
Log files.
CA Nimsoft Monitor can scan log files and extract pre-defined information automatically, making it easy for you to get the data needed to proactively manage your Windows environments.
