Download of the Week: Spotlight on Windows
Each measured resource comes with a helpful explanation that's just one click away, in case you're feeling a little overwhelmed, and can be viewed in a separate screen with more detailed charts. Using the Event Log function you can setup alarms to warn you whenever anything reaches critical levels. The real-time flow of data allows system managers to quickly identify any performance problems and eliminate bottlenecks in the Windows environment.
You can download the installer from our downloads section. To start using it simply setup a new connection by going to File -> Connect and choose a calibration period (by default it is set to 1 hour). Ideally you want to let Spotlight gather data from the machine over a longer period so it can get a representative snapshot of its daily load. Once you've done that you'll have a feature rich monitoring program at the low price of $0.

supersmashbrada said: I cant even get it to work Ignore my ignorance or rather my ability to read over simple directions. I have it now, looks like a nice program. We'll see in 4 hours. |

It just "calibrates" or more logically examines the general state of your system so it can give more accurate info. It looks pretty useful, I'm already using it myself. |

If it's recommended by Techspot, then it must be pretty good and accurate. Downloading now. |

A little large for what it does, but OK worth a try. |

Aye I also have problems installing it under Windows 7 64bit. Doesn't give me any clue what the problem is though. Tried giving the installation admin rights etc. - no joy. Tgard |

On Windows 7 you may want to use the built in Resource Monitor which is based on some Sysinternals tools. It provides good information for troubleshooting CPU, Memory, Disk and Network issues. |

How does this work? Is an agent installed on the Windows device you wish to monitor? Using netstat, I can see a few ports open, but nothing really running under the processes. |
