One part in your post puzzled me
"I have Servers Alive installed on our Web Server running IIS and our SQL
Server running Microsoft SQL Server 7.0"
I if I read this correctly, then you are think that you need to install
Servers Alive on each of your servers. This is not the case, install
Servers Alive onto one specific server and then set it up to check all you
machines over the network.
The basics of my checks are :
File/Print Servers
Ping & Disk space
IIS
Ping, Disk Space, WWW Service, URL check
FTP Servers
Ping, Disk Space, Check port 23 response
Mail Servers
Ping, Disk Space, Check port 25 response, Exchange Services

Hello, All,
I am in the process of evaluating Servers Alive at the request of my boss.
I'm at the point where I understand how Servers Alive
works and how to setup Checks but I'm sort of at a loss for what to Check.
I was wondering if anyone on here could provide some
recommendations of the basic things one should be checking on a server.
Right now I'm only checking for Free Space < 10% on the
hard drives. I have Servers Alive installed on our Web Server running IIS
and our SQL Server running Microsoft SQL Server 7.0.
I know over time I'd come up with plenty of things to check over time but
I'm basically being asked to anticipate what is going to
happen on our servers in the future. I guess I'm just looking for a basic
core set of things that most Server Administrators like
to monitor.
Your suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks,
