    Hello,
    Is there any windows based application to monitor my webserver?
    My server runs CentOS 64bit and Apache 2.2.17.

    I won't mind going for a paid software, but a free one will be great.

    Apache server status can be checked by enabling following in httpd.conf:

    ExtendedStatus On

    <Location /server-status>
    SetHandler server-status
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
    Allow from .example.com
    </Location>

    Then restart apache and access from browser via http://servername/server-status

    Or even we can use apachetop tool.

    I know that, thanks.

    What I am basically looking is a software which will monitor my server from my own computer and provide suggestions to improve the performance.
    Is there any such tool?

    Why would you want such a thing when you can login via SSH from windows and run any of the performance monitoring tools you desire?

    As was already mentioned above, I recommend cacti. Great software and will show graphs of all the things monitored so you can see historical data to see how performance is doing.

    Cacti, Mon and Nagios are all good solutions for monitoring webservers. Nagios and Cacti are more complex to set up than Mon. Mon will give you a quick and clean solution with a small learning curve. All are free, open source software.
