Open source Snare gives you a great start. You can use Snare to monitor
event logs and other log files.
There must be a hundred products that will give you more, with advantages
and disadvantages. Here are three I like for different cirumstances:
-Netikus Event Sentry
-MonitorIT
-DorianSoft
On balance for servers my preferred product is Altiris Monitor Solution for
Servers. It is a little more expensive than some, but it integrates with
other parts of a service management system like Helpdesk, Deployment and
Inventory.

Hello,

What is the best 3rd party software out there that will monitor the
following on our Windows 2003 servers:

1) Disk space
2) Event Logs
3) Windows Updates (probably just have to use WSUS for this)
4) Symantec Antivirus Scans/Threats/Updates (if possible)
5) Backup Exec job status' (if possible)

Thanks for any replies with your knowledge or experience!- Hide quoted text -

Thanks for the infor Anthony-

I am running 6 servers, so hopefully altiris is not too expensive for
this quantity of servers. This may be the best
solution for me though, as it intigrates with an inventory solution
which I just created a post about.

I do like the freeware idea though- may play around with that a bit-
