Windows is a widely used operating system for desktops and servers in business networks. In many organizations, Windows servers run key services like file sharing, Active Directory, databases, and line-of-business applications. For monitoring, Windows is especially convenient because it provides built-in management interfaces that can expose detailed performance and system health data.
Monitoring Windows with IPNetwork Monitor. IPNetwork Monitor includes many Windows-focused monitor types that use WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) to collect resource and performance metrics from remote computers. You can monitor CPU load (WMI CPU / WMI CPU load), available memory (WMI Memory / WMI Available Memory), network throughput (WMI Bytes Received/sec and WMI Bytes Send/sec), disk space (WMI Disk space), uptime (WMI Uptime), and process statistics (WMI Process). For checks beyond the built-in presets, WMI Custom monitors can run a custom query/script to retrieve specific counters. IPNetwork Monitor also supports Windows-native operational monitoring such as the Windows Service monitor (verify a service is running and trigger automated recovery actions) and Windows Event Log monitoring (track new events over a selected period). Together, these monitors make it easy to build a complete Windows server health view: availability, performance, and service-level status.
