Windows Server Monitoring Tools | Event Log Alerting Software
Monitor Windows Servers using Event ID based alerting. Detect suspicious activity, admin logins, changes and security risks instantly.
Monitor, Audit & Secure Windows Server
Detect Insider Threats Before They Escalate
Why Windows Server Monitoring Matters
Windows Servers remain one of the most targeted components in enterprise environments.
Privileged access, service accounts, scheduled tasks, and administrative logins all leave critical signals behind in the Windows Event Log.
Without proper monitoring:
- Suspicious admin activity goes unnoticed
- Failed logons and brute-force attempts are missed
- Configuration and service changes happen silently
- Incident response becomes reactive instead of proactive
InfraSOS turns Windows event logs into near real-time security and operational alerts.
Windows Event Log Monitoring Tools
InfraSOS uses Windows Event Forwarding (WEF) to collect events from:
- Windows Servers
- Domain Controllers
- Any Windows OS endpoint
Users can monitor any Windows Event ID, including:
- Authentication and logon events
- Privileged access changes
- Service and scheduled task activity
- Security policy modifications
- Application and system errors
- And so much more..
This makes InfraSOS a powerful Windows log monitoring tool without the overhead of a full SIEM.
Windows Server Monitoring Tools
One Dashboard. Every Server. Every Alert.
Never Miss a Critical Security Event Again
Advanced Windows Alerting with Event Attribute Filtering
InfraSOS goes beyond basic Windows Event ID matching.
Alerts can be triggered using filters on Event XML metadata, such as:
- Target user
- Computer name
- Object name
- Logon type
- Process or service name
- And much more..
This allows highly specific alerts, reducing noise and focusing only on events that matter.
Windows Alert Example
Trigger an alert only when a specific admin account logs on to a production server outside business hours.
Business Hours & After Hours Activity Alerting
Not all activity is equally risky.
InfraSOS allows users to configure alerts that trigger:
Inside business hours
Outside business hours
Both
This is especially useful for detecting:
Admin logins outside normal working hours
Unexpected server access during weekends
Off-hours configuration changes
A simple but powerful capability often missing from traditional Windows monitoring tools.
Alert Trend Analysis & Anomaly Detection
InfraSOS dashboards show daily alert volumes over a rolling 7-day timeline using line charts.
This helps teams:
- Spot abnormal spikes in activity
- Identify emerging attack patterns
- Detect misconfigurations and service issues
- Investigate unusual behaviour before it escalates
Instead of just reacting to alerts, teams gain context and visibility over time.
Centralised Monitoring Across Multiple Domains
InfraSOS provides a global Windows & Active Directory domain view, allowing users to:
- Monitor multiple domains from a single dashboard
- Quickly identify where new alerts are occurring
- Track high-risk activity across environments
This is ideal for:
- Enterprises with multiple domains
- MSPs managing multiple customers
- Organisations consolidating security monitoring

You get Windows server monitoring software that focuses on what matters most.
FAQ
What is Windows Server monitoring?
Windows Server monitoring involves tracking system, security, and application events to detect risks, failures, and suspicious activity.
Can InfraSOS monitor any Windows Event ID?
Yes. InfraSOS supports monitoring any Windows Event ID and filtering on Event XML attributes.
Is this a SIEM?
No. InfraSOS focuses on event-driven alerting, not log storage or correlation like a traditional SIEM.
Can I monitor multiple Windows servers?
Yes. You can monitor any number of Windows servers and view alerts centrally. For example even Microsoft Exchange servers, Microsoft SQL Servers, Windows File Servers, DNS and any other type of Windows server.
Can alerts be restricted to after hours activity?
Yes. Alerts can be configured for inside or outside business hours.
Can Windows Server monitoring detect suspicious administrator activity?
Yes. InfraSOS monitors Windows Event IDs related to administrator logins, privilege escalation, group membership changes, and service account activity. Alerts can be triggered in real time when administrative actions occur outside normal business hours or deviate from expected behaviour.
How do I monitor Windows Server logs across multiple servers centrally?
InfraSOS uses Windows Event Forwarding (WEF) to collect logs from multiple Windows servers into a central on-premises collection server. From there, events are analysed, correlated, and displayed in a single dashboard, allowing administrators to monitor all servers from one place.
Can Windows Server monitoring help with compliance and audits?
Yes. InfraSOS helps organisations meet audit and compliance requirements by providing continuous visibility into Windows Server activity, security-related events, and configuration changes. Alerts and historical event data support compliance with frameworks such as CIS Benchmarks, NIST, ISO 27001, and internal security policies.
