Whichever combination you use, the chances are you'll realise the importance of monitoring the status, both of the hardware and software running on them. Should a "live" server fail, its quite likely that systems, end users or customers will all be affected and so detecting faults early, preferably before they cause these issues is of prime importance.

Doing this manually is both time consuming and expensive in terms of man power, especially in today's 24 x 7 world. A far better solution is to automate the process, allowing it to respond or report faults should they arise. With the Sentry-go Quick Server monitor, that's exactly what you can do.

• Monitor Windows services. Many server-based systems run as Windows Services. Some are paramount to the operation of the server whilst others provide system & custom logic. Monitoring the status of these service is essential. Should they fail, the Quick Monitor can restart them automatically, thus minimising downtime or notify you as required.
   
• Monitor Windows Processes. Other, non service-based processes also form a key part of many application servers. Ensuring critical processes are available and preventing forbidden applications from running can often be an important aspect of monitoring. Both are easy to do with the Sentry-go Quick Monitor.
   
• TCP/IP Port Access. Many network-based systems accept inbound requests on so called "well known" ports. Others can use custom ports to communicate. Verifying these ports are accessible is therefore a good way of ensuring the underlying system is functioning correctly, something easy to achieve with the Sentry-go Quick Monitor.
   
• Windows Firewall Security. In today's environments, security if often of primary importance. One key feature of this is the Windows firewall, which helps prevent unauthorised access to your servers & systems. The Quick Monitor can automatically verify & enable the firewall if its found to be disabled.
   
• Monitor Server & System Performance. The monitor comes pre-configured with settings that help ensure that key performance parameters are within expected limits. But these can easily be further enhanced to cover other aspects of your server's operation, depending on the systems it runs.
    
• Monitor errors written to the Windows Event Log. Windows, system & application errors are often written to the server's local Event Log. The Quick Monitor can check & report on these based on event ID, message text etc. 
    
• Text-based Log Files. In addition to the Event Log, many 3rd party & custom systems (and some larger ones such as SQL Server & IIS) also use text-based log files to log errors and trace messages. These log files can easily be monitored, based on keywords using the Quick Monitor.
    
• Available disk space. To run efficiently, your Windows server needs disk space. Often forgotten, the lack of space can easily become a problem whtn things get tight. Using the Sentry-go Quick Monitor you can automatically ensure free space is available, automatically clearing down temporary files & warning you to the issue if this free space becomes more limited.

Any Sentry-go Plus! monitoring component can be purchased and added to the Quick Server Monitor.

For environments with larger numbers of monitors, the Sentry-go Enterprise Option allows status & alert information from each system to be collated & accessed centrally - i.e. across the enterprise. For enterprise-wide reporting, this is the option for you!
