Techopedia explains Server Monitoring Software
Server monitoring software primarily provides server administrators with server-wide performance, availability and security metrics. It can provide data such as:
- CPU and RAM utilization
- Number of suspicious/malicious packets and/or intruder attacks
- User load
- Bandwidth consumption
These results are sent to network administrators so they can optimize server performance. Server monitoring software can be a standalone application or a component of network/IT monitoring software. Moreover, it measures and provides statistical and/or visual reports into processor, memory, storage, applications as well as network and other server metrics.
