Windows Server Monitoring

Xitoring now supports Windows Server monitoring!

We are thrilled to announce that Xitoring now offers Windows Server monitoring! It has been always a significant feature request from our customers to have this feature, and now we are very proud to have your requirement fulfilled =)

Our first product was Xigent v1 only supports a few Linux-based operating systems, then we went ahead developing a new version called v2 for Linux which now supports the major version of distributions. According to public statistics, Linux servers have about 15% of the market share and the rest belongs to Windows Servers which is about %73 of the market share. Our product will be very beneficial for Windows Server users we believe it has made the whole process much easier for them to Install, set up, and maintain. Our near competitors for Windows Server monitoring offers much more complex solution with higher rates. The belief and mindset behind our products are simplicity and ease of use, although the data we collect from servers are comprehensive. Your server will be connected to your nearest Xitoring node for the least network latency, and the date you sent, is fully analyzed and visualized.

We provide live statistics for Windows Server and also useful historical graphs for each component including CPU usage, Top Processes, Memory Usage, Disk usage, Disk IO, Network statistics, Netstat data, and much more!

The following versions of Windows Server are officially supported:

  • Windows Server 2012
  • Windows Server 2012 R2
  • Windows Server 2016
  • Windows Server 2019
  • Windows Server 2022

Right after your installation of Xitogent on your Windows Server, you will receive an email indicating your Server is successfully registered and added to monitoring. we automatically and optionally detect running services on your public IP address and create checks and triggers for them. supported check types at the moment are HTTP, HTTPS, DNS, FTP, POP3, IMAP, SMTP, PING, and a few more.

All Xitoring users can benefit from a free plan to monitor up to 5 servers at no cost! You can read the Xitoring Windows manual for more information.

Registration and adding a Windows server is exactly like the previous Linux installation, you need only to copy a command, paste it into your PowerShell, and the rest is done automatically.

You can always contact our support team if you need any help installing Windows Server Xitogent.

How metric monitoring increases server uptime?

In today’s world, where experience is everything and users look more at the digital experience while deriving satisfaction, server infrastructure performance is an important stake in determining application success. There, users do ask for speed, reliability, and consistency-and any slack regarding these could amount to dissatisfaction, lost revenue, or even damage to your brand’s reputation. While one may argue that the unsung heroes are the servers, driving everything from websites and mobile apps to complex enterprise systems, this requires a lot more than just setting up. To keep them running well, constant attention and watching out for them with strategic optimization become operable. This article examines the key metrics that measure server performance and provides actionable tips for improvement and maintains why vigilance is so important in ensuring a high-performing digital ecosystem.

Agent-less vs Agent-based Monitoring

In today’s digital world, IT infrastructure reliability and performance are becoming critical to business success. Monitoring, in effect, acts as the backbone of such efforts in enabling organizations to detect issues at an early stage, optimizing resource utilization, and minimizing downtime. However, finding the right way to monitor may be a challenge as modern IT environments are growing more complex. There are two major approaches mainly: agent-based monitoring and agent-less monitoring; each with various advantages and challenges. Understand the difference; understand the strength, the limitation, and thus make an educated choice. This blog compares side-by-side two different approaches, presenting Xitoring, which offers combined strengths from both for the comprehensive, efficient, and scalable monitoring of infrastructure.

What is Agent-less Monitoring?

Agent-less monitoring refers to the process of monitoring and data collection from servers, network devices, and other IT components without the need for software agents on the monitored systems. It would, therefore, rely on other external mechanisms to gather information. This approach thus becomes highly useful in an environment where deploying agents is either not practical or highly undesirable. There are generally two ways in which agent-less monitoring is done:

Server monitoring vs Uptime monitoring

What is Server Uptime?

The current uptime of a server is the time elapsed since its last reboot. Years, months, days, hours, minutes, and seconds express uptime. Uptime starts at 0 (zero) every time the server starts up again, and it keeps going up as long as the server is working.

Why is Uptime Monitoring Important?

Monitoring is standard in the IT industry because it allows you to maintain the ideal state of the company’s servers. The server performance monitoring procedure is pretty straightforward; it routinely collects server data and analyzes it in real-time or retrospectively. This enables us to guarantee that the servers run properly, delivering their intended purpose.
You may monitor nearly everything, including processor performance control, memory consumption, network, and disk space bandwidth, and server-related issues. However, understanding how to monitor a server is insufficient. It is essential to comprehend why it is such an integral component of its security. The purpose of monitoring is to provide information on failures and performance issues and to anticipate and prevent problems. In practice, this implies that faults or anomalies are discovered so quickly that the entire organization’s service, application, or operation is not halted. As a result, the company’s server infrastructure functions properly and reliably, and the company does not incur losses due to lengthy system outages.

Xitoring now supports Rocky Linux!

We are happy to announce that Xitogent is now compatible with Rocky Linux 8. Xitoring offers free server monitoring (up to 5 servers) for Rocky Linux users.

Rocky Linux aims to function as a downstream build as CentOS had done previously, building releases after they have been added by the upstream vendor, not before. Its name was chosen as a tribute to early CentOS co-founder Rocky McGaugh!

The CentOS project announced a shift in strategy for CentOS. Whereas previously CentOS existed as a downstream build of its upstream vendor (it receives patches and updates after the upstream vendor does), it will be shifting to an upstream build (testing patches and updates before inclusion in the upstream vendor). Additionally, support for CentOS Linux 8 has been cut short, from December 31, 2029, to December 31, 2021.

By Installing Xitogent on your Rocky Linux server you can easily gather all server statistics and data without hassle, and Xitoring does the most for you. Including service discovery, creating initial checks, generating graphs, configuring initial triggers, etc.
