Look closely at this chart:
This chart is showing the Processor Queue Length, something that you won't notice on a server unless you spend an hours going through server performance logs. The Processor Queue Length should be below 7, as you can see in this chart, this server is over worked. The processor in the server needs to be upgraded or another CPU added as it is not able to keep up with the work load. This is one of the benefits of a managed network, alerts and reports on work load giving us insight into resource usage and errors. Fortunately, for this server, monitoring showed us the work load and we were able to upgrade the CPU before users started noticing sluggish behavior. If this server was not being monitored, then first users would have started to see sluggish response and eventually the server would have crashed needing a reboot. I see situations where servers are not monitored and IT people are confused as to why certain servers become slow to respond to user requests at certain times. Proper monitoring can alleviate these issues by alerting IT administrators to potential bottlenecks and PCSN monitoring can not only alert you but also take corrective action to issues before your users notice a problem. PCSN Monitoring keeps tabs on the pulse of your network, we monitor all essential resources on any network devices like servers, routers, switches, printers, we can even monitor workstations for "super users".
