Question Know of any Software to monitor Server Status Graphically?

[Oliver Whittell]

Trying to find a software that could display whether a Server is Online or not within our network. We have about 50 Servers and are looking for a Server Monitoring Software that displays them all with say, a Green Light for operating, and a Red light for offline, something simple!
Although there are so many options, a free one would be preferable, Thanks!
Our Servers are mostly on Windows Server 2019 & 2016.

Try out HWinfo. It's primarily meant to monitor temps rather than online status using the computer's onboard sensors, but you could also use it to intuitively see if it's online, since it will need to send you data of the temps in the first place. So it adds that bonus of checking your server temps as well.

edit: You will need to go into the 'remote viewer' option on the bottom right and in that menu, click on the top (make this computer a server). This will make that server a sender of the data. You will need to setup a reciever computer that will gather all the data from all the servers. You will link them up via IP's

With "50 servers", you don't want to be constrained by "free".

There are many tools that will do this
