Windows Server Forum / Windows Media Server / May 2008Monitoring WMS
Hello people, My name is Remco en this is my first post on this forum. For my, I hope, future employer I have t write a paper on monitoring Windows Media Services. To see if I am on the right track I would like to ask you all some questions: What components of WMS would you monitor? I myself am thinking about: - Upstream/downstream bandwidth - Publishing Points - User count - System resources - Running WMS services - Logging analysis Am I on the right track or am I missing a few things? The paper must be specificly about monitoring WMS so monitoring of the server itself is not neccecery. What tools would you use for monitoring WMS? I found a couple of tools, for example: Windows Media Services Management Pack for Microsoft Operations Manager. Is this a good tool or can you recommend other, maybe better tools? The questions are not all work related because, every friday, we livestream from: http://www.heliora.nl (19:00 GMT+1) Thanks in advance for your posts! Grtz Remco p.s. Sorry for my crappy Englisch, just a silly Dutchman ;) Are you monitoring the service on the server, or the stream? There is little reason to monitor the WMS service, it almost never fails. OK, it never fails. Connectivity to the server might fail, the encdoer stream to the server might fail, etc. You want to monitor the stream itself? There are products like Stream Patrol, HawkEye or IPmonitor that do that. > Hello people, > [quoted text clipped - 32 lines] > > p.s.

Sorry for my crappy Englisch, just a silly Dutchman ;) You can use Windows Performance Monitor with access to all aspects of WMS performance. It is very fast and flexible with great support of 3rd party tools. And you can start immediately with controlpanel - administration tools - Performance.
