We take a look at the new native Windows monitoring found in Netdata. It is one of the easiest solutions you can choose to start monitoring your environment quickly, now including Windows hosts. In just a few minutes you can install the Netdata agent and see your metrics streamed to the cloud. They also have a Netdata home lab license that is very cheap to monitor unlimited endpoints in the cloud dashboard.
