We have a new externally-hosted Windows 2012 server that is running IIS, MySQL, etc. and I want to monitor it in our SolarWinds SAM. We have full remote desktop access to the server and I can request any firewall changes at the hosting company that I need.
What would be the best way to go with monitoring on this so we can tack usage and alert? Am I best setting using WMI as we do to our internal servers or would SNMP be better?
Regards,
Kenny
