An Overview to Windows Monitoring with IT-Conductor

An Overview to Windows Monitoring with IT-Conductor

Windows servers have been powering businesses for many years now. The high degree of scalability that comes with running applications on the Windows Operating System (OS) provides organizations flexibility as the business grows. This level of flexibility in an enterprise environment, however, poses some challenges when it comes to making sense of all the logs and metrics coming from various systems and applications. Especially nowadays, where applications are hosted in hybrid environments, monitoring is becoming more burdensome for IT Teams.

Frequently Asked Questions

Monitoring servers means tracking the availability, performance, and resource utilization (CPU, memory, disk, network) across Windows and Linux environments so that your applications and services run smoothly.

Key server metrics to monitor include:

  • CPU utilization – to track processing load and detect overuse or idle resources.

  • Memory usage – to identify leaks or insufficient capacity.

  • Disk I/O and storage utilization – to ensure read/write operations perform efficiently.

  • Network throughput and latency – to detect bottlenecks or connectivity issues.

  • Process and service health – to confirm critical applications and background services are running.

  • System uptime and availability – to measure reliability and SLA compliance.

For application servers (such as SAP or database hosts), it’s also important to monitor application-level performance, queue backlogs, and response times to correlate infrastructure health with end-user experience.

Agentless server monitoring works by collecting performance and availability data remotely, without installing software agents on each server. Instead, it uses standard protocols such as SSH (for Linux/Unix), WMI (for Windows), SNMP, or cloud APIs to securely retrieve metrics like CPU, memory, disk, and network utilization.

Start by establishing baseline behaviour for typical workloads (average CPU, memory, disk I/O, and network usage). Then configure thresholds just above those baselines, so that alerts trigger on sustained deviations rather than brief spikes. For example, trigger alerts when CPU usage exceeds 85% for a sustained period instead of short spikes.

You can monitor server health across multiple data centers or cloud regions by using a centralized, cloud-based monitoring platform that aggregates performance data from all environments in real time.  This enables unified visibility across hybrid or multi-cloud setups, allowing teams to compare performance, detect anomalies, and automate responses regardless of where the servers are hosted.

By capturing performance metrics and resource-utilisation trends over time (CPU, memory, storage, network) you build historical insight that helps you identify under- or over-provisioned servers and anticipate future growth. 

These insights help IT teams predict future resource needs, identify under- or over-provisioned servers, and plan upgrades or scaling before performance issues occur.

Common causes of server performance degradation include:

  • Sustained high CPU or memory utilization

  • Disk I/O bottlenecks

  • Network latency or bandwidth congestion

  • Resource contention between multiple applications on the same host

  • Misconfigured services or system settings

  • Outdated software or firmware

  • Inefficient workloads (e.g., poorly optimized database queries)

In some cases, hardware failures or inefficient database queries further impact performance.

Continuous monitoring helps detect these issues early, allowing IT teams to take proactive measures before users experience downtime.

The best way to handle alert fatigue in server monitoring is to implement intelligent alerting and automation. This includes setting dynamic thresholds based on baselines rather than static limits, using correlation rules to suppress duplicate or dependent alerts, and prioritizing incidents based on severity and impact.
