Windows Server Monitoring Software

Question

Can I recommend a monitoring program for the Windows environment?

We already have monitoring in terms of resources and availability. I want to know who is logged in and changed the settings, added files, etc.

We have IT outsourcing, and I want to track all changes in the system.

I am open to registering on a keyboard or recording a session.

Open Source / Free is optimal, but we are also willing to pay for the solution.

Edit:

It looks like we don’t have the skill set of system administrators yet.

Answer 1

You can watch zabbix www.zabbix.com. Open source makes use / resource, but also has custom agents and event notification capabilities.

Answer 2

Oh, of course, take a look at EventSentry, he should be able to do anything, at a reasonable price. There is also a "lite" free version, of course, it is more limited. And, of course, you know that changes to monitoring files can generate extremely large amounts of audit data and get a lot of overhead ...

Answer 3

I think the solution you are looking for comes straight from MS: System Center Operations Manager . It is pretty sleek, but could be bigger (system and budget) than you need.
