Remote Windows Host Monitoring

Monitor health and performance of Windows Hosts without installing an agent.

Extension
Free trialDocumentation
  • Product information
  • Release notes

Overview

This extension leverages the WMI protocol to collect data from Windows hosts, without the need for any agent. This enables agent-less, remote monitoring while providing the same transparency and visibility of Windows hosts as otherwise only offered with a OneAgent installation.

This is intended for users, who:

  • Want to monitor Microsoft Windows hosts
  • Can’t install an agent on the host

This enables you to:

  • Remotely monitor windows host
  • Collect all relevant data like:
    • CPU and memory utilization
    • I/O operations and disk usage
    • Network interface and traffic statistics
    • Details of processes and network services running

Supported Distributions

  • All versions of Windows supported by Microsoft
  • Successfully tested on older version of Windows and will provide best effort support for older OS's

Details

The Remote Windows Host Extension is built on top of the new Extension Framework.

The Extension package contains

  • WMI DataSource configuration
  • Dashboard template
  • Unified Analysis screen template
  • Topology definition and entity extraction rules

Further information about the extension can be found in the Dynatrace Product News Blog

  • Extend Dynatrace automation and AI capabilities more easily than ever
  • Leverage WMI to enable full observability of Windows Hosts and services to monitor health and improve performance.
