I'm working with Linux servers and some windows servers for almost a year now.
My question is is there programs or separate server program to monitor few or more servers in one place?
Because for all the time i'm working with servers i go to each server daily check log's ect.
So i thought is there any easier way to check them if there is please post what are you using and why. Would be great if they support windows servers too.
How many servers are you planning for? There are quite a few options to choose from and they will be more or less appealing depending on your situation and your priorities. Cacti, Nagios, and Zabbix are three to look at, but there are more.
We monitor 174 hosts in production and 176 hosts in test, a variety of linux and windows servers and other devices with Nagios.
Personally I'd prefer to use the "Centreon" fork of Nagios as it offers a nicer (in my opinion) user front end and has GUI based configuration / template management.

Ohh one more question for this statement do you use the free version for this many hosts?
Personally I'm very fond of the Open Monitoring Distribution (OMD). I use it to monitor a variety of approx 100 servers (Linux, OpenBSD and Windows), NAS appliances, printers etc. It uses nagios underneath, but comes with the very nice capabilities of Check_MK multisite frontend. That will also give you some very nice history tracking, trend watching etc.
