Application - Microsoft Active Directory Opspack
Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft product that consists of several services that run on Windows Server to manage permissions and access to networked resources. The main service in Active Directory is Domain Services, which stores directory information and handles the interaction of the user with the domain. AD stores information about objects on the network using a structured data store as the basis for a logical, hierarchical organization of directory information which makes this information easy for administrators and users to find and use.
What You Can Monitor
This Opspack allows you to monitor all the metrics you need to efficiently run a Microsoft Active Directory Service, providing service checks for high level status information about services, threads, Security Accounts Manager, and Address Book, as well as important metrics for the Active Directory Replication status.
