# Monitoring Servers

Navigation: Working with Nx Witness > Configuring Server Settings > # Monitoring Servers |

Nx Witness lets you view server processing usage in real-time, as a standard item that can be moved, resized, duplicated, etc.

To monitor server health

•Click-and-drag the server from the Resource Tree into a new or existing layout, or

•Open the server context menu and choose Monitor, Monitor in New Tab, or Monitor in New Window to open the chart shown below:

Only traces are displayed unless the cursor is hovered over the graph, which toggles display of the following:

•Server name and elapsed time since the server was last started

•CPU load

•RAM memory usage

•Hard disk partition usage (for example, C: and D:)

•Network interfaces usage

•Percentage of capability being used (on the right side)

Display can be controlled from the legend at the bottom. A trace can be enabled or disabled by checking the box next to its name, and when the mouse cursor is hovered over a name, the corresponding trace will be highlighted while all other traces will be grayed out.

Multiple servers can be monitored simultaneously. To quickly view the health of all available s ervers in a single l ayout, open Main Menu, choose System Administration (shortcut Ctrl+Alt+A), then click the Health Monitoring icon.

The server monitor item provides a visual indicator if an aspect of server functions reaches a critical level.
