Windows Server Monitoring Tool
CPU and memory pressure can develop before users report a slowdown. A lightweight local monitor gives administrators an earlier signal without requiring a separate monitoring platform. Smartbooth provides focused Windows and Linux tools with Email, Microsoft Teams, and Telegram notifications.
A practical approach to windows server monitoring
CPU and memory pressure can develop before users report a slowdown. A lightweight local monitor gives administrators an earlier signal without requiring a separate monitoring platform.
CPUAlert monitors CPU and memory HIGH or LOW usage, identifies TOP1–TOP5 processes, and sends notifications only after configured consecutive checks.
The tools use text configuration files, run as a simple background process, and are available for both Windows and Linux. They are intended for organizations that want useful alerts without first building and maintaining a central monitoring platform.
What to monitor
CPU and memory pressure can develop before users report a slowdown. A lightweight local monitor gives administrators an earlier signal without requiring a separate monitoring platform.
Cpu Usage
Configure Smartbooth to watch CPU usage and notify the responsible team when the configured condition continues long enough to require attention.
Memory Usage
Configure Smartbooth to watch memory usage and notify the responsible team when the configured condition continues long enough to require attention.
High And Low Utilization
Configure Smartbooth to watch high and low utilization and notify the responsible team when the configured condition continues long enough to require attention.
Top Resource-Consuming Processes
Configure Smartbooth to watch top resource-consuming processes and notify the responsible team when the configured condition continues long enough to require attention.
Why consecutive checks matter
Networks and workloads are not perfectly steady. One lost packet, one short CPU spike, or one delayed TCP connection should not always wake an administrator. Smartbooth uses configurable consecutive-check counts so an alert can be delayed until the problem persists. After the target returns to normal, the tool sends a recovery notification and resets the alert state.
This low-noise design is especially useful for small teams because it focuses attention on conditions that continue rather than repeating the same message during every monitoring cycle.
| Capability | Smartbooth approach |
|---|---|
| Resource thresholds | Yes |
| High and low usage alerts | Yes |
| TOP1–TOP5 process visibility | Yes |
| Requires a monitoring server | No |
Setup workflow
- Download and unzip the Windows or Linux package.
- Enter Email, Microsoft Teams, or Telegram notification settings.
- Set CPU and memory thresholds, consecutive-check counts, and check intervals.
- Run the configuration check, then start CPUAlert as one background process.
Use the product documentation for the exact configuration keys and command-line options. Configuration files use a colon (:) separator rather than an equals sign.

View PortAlert →Frequently asked questions
What does a windows server monitoring check?
It checks the conditions most closely related to Windows servers. The exact checks depend on the selected Smartbooth tool: CPUAlert monitors CPU and memory, PingAlert tests host response, and PortAlert tests TCP service ports.
Does this require a central monitoring server?
No. Smartbooth Alert Tools are portable Windows and Linux utilities designed to run without a separate monitoring server or web dashboard.
Which notification channels are supported?
The tools support Email, Microsoft Teams, and Telegram alerts. Daily IamAlive status is sent by email where supported.
How does Smartbooth reduce alert noise?
Alerts are based on configured consecutive checks. A temporary spike or single failed check does not have to generate an alert, and a separate recovery notification is sent when the condition returns to normal.
Is a trial available?
Yes. Trial mode is available with limits so the configuration and notification flow can be evaluated before purchasing an offline license.
