RE: Monitoring high traffic utilization

Open up perfmon on your local workstation. Right click the gray area and select “Add Counters”. Then you enter 
\\servername of the server you would like to monitor in the dropdown and pick the metric by changing Performance Object 
to network Interface, selecting Bytes (or whatever you’d like to monitor), then picking your interface.

What we use for this sort of thing is OpenNMS, but that is less accurate and operates at the switch port level rather 
than using the server (although I think the newer versions could do that through WMI).

Hope this helps.

Hi Folks,

We have a number of windows servers. We are running perfmon on each
server. Most important graphs is detecting the number of bytes/sec
received on the interface on each server. Is there an open
source/commercial software where we can monitor what perfmon does on
one machine (almost realtime). This way I do not have to open
multiple RDP on each server. I prefer to go open source but if it does
not exist, commercial is my second choice.


Thanks
