Server Monitoring

Hi there,
I am looking for a good way to monitor the following on servers
memory usage over the last day /week
page file usage
cpu usage etc
The servers are both virtual & physical
I know this can be done through perf mon but i would like a better less confusing way to monitor it.
I.E simply glance to see exactly what is being used and where.

Thanks

i would also be interested in any free tools
even just to quickly be able to tell exactly what memory / cpu is being used
Process Explorer is great for a quick snapshot. www.sysinternals.com

You can use perf mon to run tracking over time.

An alternative that we use is Zabbix. We had been using Nagios, but found Zabbix to be better for what we were doing.

does this show how much memory is being used over a day /week
Perf mon does and you can save it in a format for Excel. Process Explorer is real-time.

have you any good instructions on perf mon
Nagios is open source. (Free) There are good guides on setting it up based on the operating system you use.
