use the build in performance monitor as its free and doesnt create too much additional processing.<br />
<br />
you can set up alerts in here too.<br />

Set up a monitor for the basics and go from there:<br />
<br />
CPU % use<br />
Free Memory<br />
Disk Queues<br />

Thanks, &nbsp;Iwill look into those software but how do I determine that the hardware needs to &nbsp;be updated, like more memory or faster CPU? What is the treshold, &nbsp;memory over 80% for 20 min, 1 hour, 6 hour?<br />

I have a server where I host about 10 Web-application, I would like a light software to monitor the server in order to know if I am reaching the limits of the server.<br />
Also getting alert would be great.<br />
<br />
Moreover, &nbsp;what are the parameter on the server that I should monitor to &nbsp;make sure the end user is always getting the best performance.<br />

Server running windows 2008 webserver, sql server 2005. 4Gb memory<br />

Monitor Server

A web server refers to the software that helps to deliver web content that can be accessed either through the Internet or through an intranet. The primary function of a web server is to store, process and deliver web pages to clients. The communication between client and server takes place using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The most common use of web servers is to host websites, but there are other uses such as gaming, data storage, running enterprise applications, handling email, FTP, etc.

Web Servers

IIS is Internet Information Services, the web server included with Windows Server operating systems. All current versions are built on a modular architecture; modules can be added or removed individually so that those required for specific functionality are installed. The full installation of IIS includes HTTP, security, content, compression, caching, logging and diagnostics.
