What performance metrics does Auvik track on Windows servers?

Auvik monitors all the core metrics needed to maintain healthy servers, including CPU utilization, memory usage, disk partition capacity, and network connectivity. It also tracks Windows service states in real time and provides hardware/software inventory details like installed apps, OS versions, and system specs, all in one interface.

Which Windows server versions does Auvik support?

Auvik supports Windows Server 2016 and newer. Once the agent is installed, your servers are automatically discovered and monitored without complex configuration.

Can Auvik monitor my Windows servers without installing agents?

For complete monitoring, including service tracking, performance metrics, and inventory management, Auvik uses a lightweight endpoint agent. Basic discovery is possible without an agent via SNMP, but deploying the agent provides full visibility with minimal resource impact.

Can Auvik detect problems before they cause downtime?

Yes. Auvik combines real-time monitoring with historical performance data to spot trends and anomalies early. For example, it can detect memory leaks, capacity issues, or failing services before they affect users, allowing your team to act proactively instead of reacting to outages.

Can I customize alerts for service failures and performance issues?

Absolutely. Auvik lets you create custom thresholds for CPU, memory, disk usage, and Windows service states. You can also define escalation rules and send notifications through Slack, Microsoft Teams, email, or integrated ticketing systems like ServiceNow or ConnectWise.
