I've setup a Windows Server 2012 R2 machine which functions as a database, web (lan facing), file, vpn, and client backup server.
I would like to be able to setup some kind of automatic monitoring of the server that will alert me to any major problems like low disk space, high memory/cpu utilization, raid drive failure, connection issues on the lan etc. I would also want downtime monitoring as well.
Obviously I need a remote machine to monitor for downtime.
I was wondering what the standard solutions are for this kind of thing? I assume that a remote machine has software which interfaces with software on the server and then takes action such as sending an email or sms if there is a problem with it?
