Re: Server Monitoring
Installed PRTG as I've been looking for something to monitor what my internation students are doing (they were streaming HD TV at one point...). It didn't seem to want to run on Windows 8. I guess it either needs a Server OS or Windows 7? Shame. It sounds like you guys think its good value. I just want real time monitoring of bandwidth leeching.

RE: Server Monitoring
Splunk is more of a log analysis tool than monitoring software per se. If you want expensive, then there’s always BMC Patrol, IBM Tivoli, and to a lesser extent Microsoft SCOM.
