Network monitoring – What to monitor? – Best practices

by thom0 . Updated 18 years, 5 months ago

G’day, techrepublicans

I’m wondering with so many objects, counters & instances available to be monitored in a network, what opinions people in the industry have?

I guess alot would depend on what services are actually running on the network & maybe the way it’s designed. But what about in general, what things are considered critical to monitor in a network?

Things like bandwith, CPU usage, memory usage both virtual & physical, page file usage. What about the hard drives? Which are the best counters to use to determine a HDDs performance?

So what do people who do this for a living actually recommend?
