System Monitor was designed to monitor Microsoft Windows computers on a network. It can monitor the usage of CPU, Memory, Disk Drives and Network Adapters. You can set it up to log events and create usage reports to databases located anywhere on your network. The data stored in these databases can then be view in its unaltered form through System Monitor or processed by another application to generate statistical data. By adding rules that will be triggered when certain conditions are met for a specified resource on a computer, you can have notifications sent through email, visually presented or use the Microsoft Text-To-Speech to hear them spoken out loud. System Monitor can also automatically scan your network for available computers, making it easy for you to get an overview of your network.

System Monitor can also display detailed information for all running processes on a networked computer and reveal information such as Base Priority, CPU, Elapsed Time, IO Read, IO Write, IO Total, Memory Peak, Page Faults/s, Pagefile, Process ID and Threads for running processes. System Monitor will also allow you to manage your remote computers to view event logs, manage services and shared folders or easily connect to them using Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection.

The graphical user interface was designed with a top priority on high usability in mind. Unlike other competing products it takes a very short time to setup your environment. Another great feature which distinguishes System Monitor from its competitors is that it does not require you to install any additional software on the computers that you are connecting to. All windows and dialogs throughout the application supports online help through tooltips that will popup when you move the mouse cursor over a control in a window.
