在 AWS 中监控 Windows EC2 实例的服务器可访问性 (Ping) 和正常运行时间

Question

I have a requirement to monitor Memory, Disk, Paging File Usage, Logon Errors, Server Accessibility(Ping) and Uptime of Windows EC2 instances.

I have monitored Memory, Disk, Logon Errors and Paging File Usage using Cloud Watch custom metrics. I was able to do these because I found these counters in my Windows Performance Monitor . But how do I monitor Server Accessibility(Ping) and Uptime?

Answer 1

There are many services which monitor server uptime and response times. Pingdom is a commonly used service. It is most known for http monitoring, but also supports ping checks (among others).

If you want a more integrated solution you can look into setting up a monitoring suite like Nagios or Munin . Most can monitor performance data on the severs as well as external reachability.

I have also compiled an extensive list of windows server performance monitoring tools which might help you in finding the right solution.
