System checks

[babalwan2000]

Hi Guys

I manage 105 servers in our Internetwork. Every morning I have to logon to every server go through the event logs and take note of the free disk space on each server drive.
The reason I do this is to check for any problems that might have occured overnight.
Is there a simpler way anyone could suggest. I was thinking more of a tool, that could send me notifications of system faults, hardware degradation by email.
I hope this makes sense.

By the way the Operating system on the servers is Win2k/Win3k and NT server.

I haven't played around with the Performance counters very much but you could set them up on the servers and I think you can send alerts based on the disk space free.

Can SNMP help you with this? When properly configured you can get all kind of information about your Windows Servers.
And suppose SNMP can help you, you might want to use MRTG to get a nice overview of the various parameters you are interested in.

Thanks guys for you prompt responses. I'm reading up on SNMP to see how I could go about it.
I'll get back to you should I have more questions.

Once again thanks for your help.
