SysGauge Server

Although using your own computer for personal activities might not require heavy resource monitoring, keeping an entire group of computers running at peak performance does. In this regard, SysGauge Server comes with the means to enable monitoring of system resource consumption and other variables on multiple computers.

Once installed and launched, the application starts to monitor computer resource consumption. But most importantly you might want to first pay attention to the setup process, because you’re asked to configure a couple of port values to be able to connect via LAN or a web browser.

You’re greeted by a fairly intuitive and pleasant interface. It comes with a default, dual-pane visualization of CPU consumption, but it can be switched to display resource consumption for different values and in different styles. By default, you can view a gauge, chart, as well as list, all of them updating in real-time.

At its core, the application is specialized in monitoring computer resources, providing complex reports, but also taking action when necessary. On the bright side of things, the application lets you add custom counters to the dashboard. You can do this for CPU, memory usage, disk I/O activity, operating system, process status, file system, as well as USB activity.

Defining a new counter doesn’t really require a lot of effort. Categories are easy to select, unveiling the type of monitoring to perform, as well as the exact target. For example, the program can simply monitor interrupt time for CPU 3, sent packets errors from Local Area Connection 2, disk write activity on a particular drive, and a lot more.

The difference in this edition is the emphasis on batch monitoring. The application is specialized on working on a LAN environment, letting you set up counters and monitors for all computers in your network. Connecting to a target PC requires appropriate privileges and connection details.

Custom monitor profiles can be created, with the possibility to export them for use on other machines. You can access the message console, or view server debug log. It’s possible to generate reports and view activity history.

Last but not least, the application can also take action when particular rules are met. You can have emails sent to your account, play notification sound, send message to system log, restart the PC, or forcefully shut it down.

Bottom line is that being aware of resource distribution and consumption on computers is an efficient way of maximizing productivity and performance. As such, SysGauge Server delivers a comprehensive set of tools with which to monitor resource consumption on multiple computers.
