What is a Server Monitoring Tool

A server monitoring tool describes software that enables system administrators to monitor servers and the applications residing on them. A server monitoring tool speeds recovery from failures, providing data needed to keep servers up and running. A server monitoring tool can all but eliminate downtime by notifying the on-call system administrator when a server application fails or system performance falls below acceptable levels.
