• Monitor key services
   
  The Server Monitor allows you to monitor key Windows services running on the local server out of the box. In addition, custom services can also be added, monitored & automatically restarted.

• Monitor key processes
   
  In addition to services, processes can also be monitored to check that required EXEs are running - e.g. anti-virus software, whilst others are not - e.g. unauthorised Setup programs. These can also be started or terminated automatically.

• Ensure TCP/IP Ports are available
   
  The internet monitor allows you to ensure that key or custom TCP/IP ports are listening for requests on the server - e.g. HTTP, HTTPS, FTP access etc.

• Verify server & software performance
   
  Ensure key performance parameters are within expected limits - e.g. CPU usage, % Registry in-use, server or logon errors etc. Custom performance counters can also be added and monitored, depending on the server software installed.

• Monitor errors written to the Windows Event Log
   
  Sentry-go allows you to monitor messages written to the Windows Event Logs based on error type, event ID, source or keywords & phrases within the text.

• Monitor messages written to text-based log files
   
  Log file monitoring allows you to monitor the entries written to text-based log files such as those used for custom applications, based on keywords or phrases within the text.

• Ensure adequate disk space is available
   
  To run efficiently, your Windows server needs adequate free disk space. Sentry-go can check this for you, clearing down temporary files automatically if free space becomes limited.
