Metrics Collected
The Windows Server Connector aggregates a comprehensive set of metrics to ensure detailed visibility into the health, performance, and operational status of Windows Server environments. Key metrics include:
- System Performance Metrics:
- CPU utilization and performance trends
- Memory usage, including free, used, and cache memory
- Disk I/O operations, read/write speeds, and latency
- Network throughput, packet loss, and error rates
- Server Health and Status:
- System uptime and downtime events
- Status of critical services and processes
- Event log entries for warnings, errors, and critical events
- Temperature and hardware health indicators (for supported hardware)
- Security and Compliance Metrics:
- Failed login attempts and account lockouts
- Firewall activity and detected threats
- Updates status, including missing and applied security patches
- System changes and configuration drifts
- Network Services Performance:
- DNS query resolution times
- DHCP lease distribution and renewals
- IP address usage and conflicts
- Active Directory response times and replication status
- Application Performance Monitoring (APM):
- Application-specific CPU and memory usage
- Service response times and availability
- Application error rates and exceptions
- User session activity and performance
- Resource Utilization Trends:
- Long-term trends in resource utilization
- Capacity forecasting based on historical data
- Anomaly detection in resource usage patterns
- Backup and Recovery Metrics:
- Success and failure rates of backup jobs
- Backup size and duration trends
- Recovery point objectives (RPO) and recovery time objectives (RTO) compliance
By analyzing these metrics, the Atlastix platform provides a holistic view of Windows Server infrastructures, facilitating proactive management, issue resolution, and performance optimization. This ensures that Windows Servers remain robust, secure, and highly available to meet the demands of modern enterprise environments.
