BMC PATROL for Microsoft Windows Servers 20.05

A Knowledge Module (KM) or a monitoring solution is a set of files from which a PATROL Agent receives information about resources running on a monitored computer. A KM file can contain the actual instructions for monitoring objects or simply a list of KMs to load. KMs are deployed to PATROL Agents. These KMs are located in the Infrastructure Management–PATROL Repository (Repository).

The PATROL for Microsoft Windows Servers monitors the availability of your operating system servers, monitors and analyzes your Microsoft Windows Active Directory environments, provides remote enterprise monitoring of Active Directory objects, monitors the availability of the network domain, monitors Microsoft Windows Remote Desktop Services, and monitors, analyzes, and manages activities of a Microsoft server cluster.
