Hello,

We have some requirements to collect logs from Windows endpoints where the fill "Windows Server" monitor is not required.

These are Windows Embedded, or Kiosk Windows Client machines (Not server) that we would like aggerate logging.

Site24x7 Windows Server monitor and logging provides and exceptional value, but for Windows "Client" systems deployed as signage, Kiosk, etc machines, there seems to be a monitoring gap in the platform.

Site24x7 considers a Windows Client as a "Server", with all of the great metrics that are overkill for monitoring a client OS, again as a signage machine, tightly locked down kiosk or even as a logic controller for a production machine.

Either an option for Windows Clients, as separate from Servers, for ease of monitoring and logical separation (IE, not listed client alerts and server alerts in the same "Windows Server" Rollup would be great.

This might mean less metrics recorded, and using a basic monitor. Limiting to a longer poll rate (5 minutes VS 1 minute) might be a limitation in exchange for 1 basic monitor, over the 2 basic monitors for servers. 

Alternatively, there could be a "Logs" only option, where a low overhead version of the Agent is available that just ingests Windows logs with a very low performance overhead.

Currently, we leverage Site24x7 effectively for our Windows Servers, but we are starting a new deployment potentially hundreds of Windows thin clients, and at this time, Site24x7 appears to have a gap.

TL/DR

Site24x7 monitors an impressive number of signals, but there appears to be a gap for monitoring very light weight, low resource, massively deployed Windows "Client" style logging. 

For now, they are treated as equivalent to Windows Servers, which may not be appropriate for cost and logging purposes, as well as logical separation in terms of inventory of clients VS Servers in the console.
