Server Monitoring

Monitor servers, virtual machines, and Windows infrastructure across your environment. Cloudmon supports agent-based and agentless monitoring, giving you the flexibility to cover every server regardless of how it is managed.

Cloudmon's Server Monitoring covers a wide range of server types and roles. Agent-based monitoring provides deep visibility into laptops, desktops, servers, and virtual machines. Agentless monitoring via WMI covers Windows infrastructure without requiring software on each device. Plugins extend monitoring to any device or service not covered by built-in integrations.

Getting started: Most server monitoring in Cloudmon requires the Cloudmon agent to be installed on the target device or a machine with access to it. Ensure your monitoring profiles are configured to begin receiving performance data.
