1 Million and Counting

What is Windows network monitoring?

Windows network monitoring is the continuous tracking of server activity including services, processes, logs, file systems, and hardware performance to detect early warning signs before they affect business applications. Instead of reacting to outages, OpManager gives IT teams a unified, correlated view of how Windows servers behave, surfaces anomalies instantly, and automates fixes. The result? Fewer surprises, faster troubleshooting, and smoother operations across every site.

Stay ahead of outages with full control over Windows services & processes

Keep performance issues from escalating into user-impacting outages. OpManager gives deep visibility into service and process behavior: CPU spikes, memory leaks, thread surges, or hung services.

Tracks CPU, memory, thread spikes, and process behavior so you detect strain early.
Sends instant alerts when a service fails, hangs, or begins degrading.
Automatically restarts failed services, executes Windows script, or fixes runaway processes, cutting MTTR and avoiding costly downtime.

Result: Your business-critical Windows workloads stay reliable, responsive, and interruption-free.

Strengthen security & stability with deep Log, File, and Hardware monitoring

Managing Windows logs and hardware health across distributed servers is time-consuming. OpManager simplifies everything into one intelligent workflow.

Consolidates security, system, and application logs to flag suspicious access, permission changes, and hidden issues.
Track file/folder changes for compliance and watch disk usage patterns to prevent storage failures.
Tracks temperature, fan speed, power supply health, and RAID status so hardware faults are caught long before they trigger outages.

Result: You gain early warning signals, better forensic insight, and stronger infrastructure resilience without juggling multiple tools.
