Windows DHCP

Overview

Windows DHCP, the dynamic host configuration protocol service on Windows-based systems, seamlessly integrates with Motadata AIOps to provide comprehensive monitoring and management capabilities. With this integration, organizations gain real-time visibility into the performance and health of their Windows DHCP servers. Monitor critical DHCP metrics such as lease activity, IP address allocation, and server response times to ensure efficient and reliable IP address management.

Prerequisites for Microsoft Windows DHCP Integration with Motadata AIOps

• Obtain the server credentials required for discovering the Windows DHCP server.

• Ensure that the user has administrator privileges on the Windows DHCP server.

• Ensure that the Microsoft Windows DHCP service is active and running on the server.

• Confirm that the Microsoft Windows DHCP process and service are listed in the process and service monitor settings of Motadata AIOps. While these may be listed by default, verify that the names of the service and process match the specific Microsoft Windows DHCP version that you intend to monitor.

By meeting these prerequisites, you can integrate Microsoft Windows DHCP with Motadata AIOps and enable effective monitoring and management of your Microsoft Windows DHCP server.
