Monitoring Servers

[Apollo]

Hi,

Does anyone know how I can be alerted if a remote server has a warning or
error in the application or system logs. I need to impleiment this for our
remote sites (I've got 20 of them and growing), and there is no money in the
budget for any 3rd party tools. Help...

Hello Apollo

It's not possible to monitor remote servers with internal tool. That's why
there are many solutions for server monitoring, but few of them are free.

I found a few free version software that can be used to monitor server
events. Here are the links:

I hope the information above can address your concerns. If anything is
unclear, please feel free to let us know.
