How to Configure a Dynamic Server List Monitor

PA Server Monitor can use rule-based automatic monitor configuration, which makes configuring monitors for your environment almost effortless. The Dynamic Server List monitors are setup to detect specific server types. In addition, they ignore any servers that are tagged as being blocked from Automatic Configuration (more on that below). The Windows Server rule which will be applied to all computers that are marked as being Windows is shown below.

Episode 17: User Sign Up and Simple Access Control

Request Metrics won’t be very successful if users can’t sign up! We recently completed cookie based user authentication and distributed session using Redis in ASP.NET Core but neglected initial sign up. Now we finally go back and write some boring forms and CRUD logic. A rich set of internal admin tools helps with customer support, system monitoring and visibility. We’ll start our suite of tools with a user admin page that lists all users in the system.

How to Monitor CPU

In today's video, learn how to monitor CPU with Performance Counter Monitor in PA Server Monitor. The Performance Counter Monitor can watch any performance counter that the Windows Perfmon tool can display. This gives you great flexibility since many systems and drivers on the computer report statistics and their current state via the performance counters. In addition, CPU and memory usage counters are simulated for Linux/Unix machines via SNMP, and via VMWare interfaces for ESX servers. Monitoring and charting those values is now as easy as with a Windows server.

How to Monitor Memory

In this video, learn how to monitor memory with PA Server Monitor. Set up a monitor and alert to monitor memory usage counters. The Performance Counter Monitor can watch any performance counter that the Windows Perfmon tool can display. This gives you great flexibility since many systems and drivers on the computer report statistics and their current state via the performance counters. CPU and memory usage counters are simulated for Linux/Unix machines via SNMP, and via VMWare interfaces for ESX servers. Monitoring and charting those values is now as easy as with a Windows server.
