Microsoft Windows Management Support

Microsoft Windows is the most popular operating system in use today. It is used in both desktop and server applications and has in recent years become more suitable for highly demanding applications. Hyperic HQ's SIGAR technology provides complete access to hardware and operating system level monitoring for all versions of Windows from NT4 to the latest Advanced Server offerings. Each Windows machine is first inventoried with discreet detection of every CPU, Filesystem, and Network Interface configured on the host. HQ can then measure the CPU activity of each individual CPU, complete memory utilization, local and remote filesystem statistics, as well as network activity on each interface.

Additionally, HQ can monitor individual processes on the machine for any system level services using SIGAR's Process Table Query Language technology which allows a user to easily define criteria which uniquely identifies a process which should be monitored for availability, memory, and CPU consumption. HQ complete Windows integration also provides users with the ability to monitor and control any Windows service normally accessible through the Service Control Panel through the HQ user interface.

HQ also provides the ability to monitor system events by tracking and reporting on any event log, registry configuration, or remote login event into the system. These events are recorded in the HQ database and can be used to diagnose system performance issues, enforce security policies, and perform impact analysis on any configuration change made to the Windows environment.
