Hands-On Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Chapter 11 Server and Network Monitoring
Introduction to Server Monitoring • Server monitoring is performed for several reasons – – To establish a baseline of performance To easily identify problems when they occur To prevent problems before they occur To diagnose existing problems • Benchmarks or baselines – Provide a basis for comparing data collected during problem situations with data collected in normal performance conditions Hands-On Microsoft Windows Server 2008 2
Introduction to Server Monitoring • Sample benchmarks that you might establish include: – Test benchmarks of disk, CPU, memory, and network response before releasing a new operating system, server hardware, or a complex application to users. – Slow, typical, and heavy usage of disk, CPU, memory, and other server resources for each server – Growth of use of network and server resources at specific intervals, such as every six months to a year Hands-On Microsoft Windows Server 2008 3
Accessing Server Services • You can access server services through the following: 1. Server Manager 2. Computer Management tool Hands-On Microsoft Windows Server 2008 4

Solving a Problem with a Service • When you experience a problem on a server that is associated with a service – Check the status of the service to make sure that it is started or set to start automatically • You can start, stop, pause, resume, or restart a service – By right-clicking it and clicking any of these options Hands-On Microsoft Windows Server 2008 6
Solving a Problem with a Service • You can check dependencies by double-clicking a service and clicking the Dependencies tab • Pausing a service takes it offline to be used only by Administrators or Server Operators Hands-On Microsoft Windows Server 2008 7

Using Task Manager • Windows Server 2008 includes the Task Manager tool – Can be used to monitor applications and processes running on a server Hands-On Microsoft Windows Server 2008 9

Monitoring Applications (continued) • If you right-click an application, several active options appear in a shortcut menu, as follows: – – – – Switch To Bring To Front Minimize Maximize End Task Create Dump File Go To Process Hands-On Microsoft Windows Server 2008 11
Monitoring Processes • The Processes tab lists the processes in use by all running applications • If you need to stop a process, simply highlight it and click End Process • The Processes tab also shows information about each started process Hands-On Microsoft Windows Server 2008 12

Setting Priorities • Using the Processes tab within Task Manager – You can increase the priority of a process (or processes) in the list • So that it has more CPU priority than what is set as its default • Base priority class – The priority at which a process runs is set in the program code of the application • If the base priority class is not set by the program, a normal (average) priority is set by the system Hands-On Microsoft Windows Server 2008 14
Monitoring Services • The Services tab in Task Manager shows the services that are started, stopped, or paused • If you want to manage services using more management options – Use Server Manager or the Computer Management tool Hands-On Microsoft Windows Server 2008 15

Monitoring Real-Time Performance • The Performance tab shows vital CPU and memory performance information – Through bar charts, line graphs, and performance statistics • Handle – A resource, such as a file, used by a program and having its own identification so the program is able to access it • Threads – Blocks of code within a program Hands-On Microsoft Windows Server 2008 17

Monitoring Network Performance • The Networking tab in Task Manager enables you to monitor network performance – On all NICs installed in the server • This information can be valuable if you suspect there is a problem with a NIC in the server – And you want an immediate determination if it is working Hands-On Microsoft Windows Server 2008 21
Capturing Data Using Performance Monitor • Performance Monitor is a tool within the Reliability and Performance Monitor • The default view is in the line mode, showing a grid that you use for graphing activities on the server • Counter – An indicator of a quantity of the object that can be measured in some unit, such as percentage, rate per second, or peak value, depending on what is appropriate to the object Hands-On Microsoft Windows Server 2008 22

Capturing Data Using Performance Monitor (continued) Hands-On Microsoft Windows Server 2008 25
Capturing Data Using Performance Monitor (continued) • Sometimes instances are associated with a counter • An instance exists when there are different elements to monitor – Such as individual processes when you use the Process object • You can monitor one or more objects at a time – As a way to get a better understanding of how particular objects interact • You can use three view modes when monitoring objects: line, histogram bar, and report Hands-On Microsoft Windows Server 2008 26

Monitoring System Components • When monitoring the performance of a server, four objects are often used: – – Processor Memory Physical disk Network interface Hands-On Microsoft Windows Server 2008 29
Monitoring System Components (continued) Hands-On Microsoft Windows Server 2008 30
Using Reliability Monitor • Reliability Monitor – Tracks the combined hardware and software reliability of a system from the time the system was installed – Helps you to judge the overall system reliability while taking into account multiple factors • System Stability Chart – Enables you to view the overall reliability over the last month to many months at a glance Hands-On Microsoft Windows Server 2008 31
Using Reliability Monitor (continued) • System Stability reports: – – Software (Un)Installs Application Failures Hardware Failures Miscellaneous Failures Hands-On Microsoft Windows Server 2008 32

Implementing the SNMP Service • Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) – Used for network management on TCP/IP-based networks – Provides administrators with a way of centrally managing workstations, servers, hubs, and routers from a central computer running management software • SNMP can be used for the following: – – Configuring network devices Monitoring the performance of a network Locating network problems Monitoring network usage Hands-On Microsoft Windows Server 2008 35
Implementing the SNMP Service (continued) • SNMP provides network management services through agents and management systems • SNMP management system (a computer running management software) – Sends and requests information from an SNMP agent • SNMP agent (any computer or network device running SNMP agent software) – Responds to the management system’s request for information Hands-On Microsoft Windows Server 2008 36
Implementing the SNMP Service (continued) • Microsoft operating systems and components compatible with SNMP: – – – – Windows Server 2008 Windows Server 2003 Windows 2000 Server Windows 2000, XP, and Vista WINS servers DHCP servers Internet Information Services servers Microsoft RAS and IAS servers Hands-On Microsoft Windows Server 2008 37
