Resource check profile - Monitor Windows event logs and Linux syslogs

Monitor the internal resources in your server such as event logs and syslogs to monitor specific events across all Windows and Linux servers. Internet-facing systems constantly confront the risk of security hacks and data theft. While you're monitoring key performance metrics of your servers, keeping an eye out for security incidents is also necessary. This can be achieved through event log monitoring for Windows servers, and syslog monitoring for Linux servers.

Monitoring critical windows services and processes

Along with server performance metrics, such as CPU, disk, and memory usage, it is important to monitor the performance of each service and process running on the server to completely analyze the load on the system resources. This video shows how Site24x7 helps you achieve that. Say you're monitoring a Windows server with Site24x7. Along with tracking the performance metrics of the server, you can also track the performance of critical services like MySQL, Apache, and PostgreSQL, and processes like redis-server.exe.

Monitor dependency and alert suppression

A network outage triggers multiple redundant alerts and burns out your alert balance. Site24x7's monitor dependency configuration helps you effectively handle the alert flood during an outage. Let's say you're monitoring your server with Site24x7, along with a few plugins hosted in it. Any downtime faced by the server will also affect the plugins, resulting in a flood of alerts for the server and the individual plugins.
