HI Igor, Happy New Year.

Visualizing the status of Windows Server file servers can help you monitor their performance and health effectively. You can use, Windows Performance Monitor: Windows includes a built-in tool called Performance Monitor (PerfMon) that allows you to monitor various system performance metrics, including those related to file servers. You can create custom performance counters and charts to visualize metrics like CPU usage, memory usage, disk I/O, and network utilization. Windows Server Manager provides a dashboard view of server roles and their status. You can use it to monitor the status of your file server role, including the number of open sessions, the performance of file shares, and any critical events. PowerShell Scripts, You can create PowerShell scripts to collect and visualize specific file server metrics. PowerShell can query performance counters, event logs, and other server data. You can use PowerShell scripts to create custom reports or integrate with other visualization tools like Power BI.Power BI: Microsoft Power BI is a powerful data visualization tool that can connect to various data sources, including Windows Server performance data. You can create interactive dashboards and reports to monitor the status of your file servers. Power BI can pull data from Windows Performance Counters or custom PowerShell scripts.Network Monitoring Software: Network monitoring software, such as Wireshark or NetFlow analyzers, can help visualize network traffic and identify potential issues affecting file server performance. Cloud-Based Monitoring Solutions: If your file servers are hosted in the cloud (e.g., Azure, AWS), you can use cloud monitoring solutions provided by the respective cloud providers to visualize server metrics and performance data. it's essential to consider the specific metrics that are most critical to your organization's needs, such as disk space, network latency, CPU and memory usage, file share access, and security events. Choose the tools and methods that best suit your requirements and budget to ensure effective monitoring and visualization of your file servers' status.

i hope i helped.

Hi, Dimitrios Sargiotis !

Thank you for taking the time to answer my question. I wish you a Happy New Year and Merry Christmas!

Apparently I was not accurate in setting the task. I'll try to clarify.

My employer would like to see a visual visualization of the contents of several file servers of our organization, in the form of a presentation.

The presentation should answer the following questions:

1. How many file servers do we have?

2. What is the qualitative, visual, analysis of the stored files on each file server?

Examples of visualization implementations are cushion tree maps (SequoiaView, here: Conference Paper Cushion Treemaps: Visualization of Hierarchical Information.

Perhaps today there are some scientific methods unknown to me for visualizing file system trees with subdirectories and files?

I can only implement this by writing my own scripts in SQL, PowerShell, and VBS due to the serious computer security requirements of our organization.
