Server Status

Can Power BI be used to monitor server status (online, offline, and time offline)?  If so, what would be the best tools or way to do this.   Thanks

guyinazo not sure what you are looking for, you can use the streaming dataset if your server can send the data, and then you can visualize it. Real-time streaming in Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Docs

System statuses is what I am looking for.  If a system is down (usually a service run on a server or the server itself), run a steady ping or whatever it would be to report the server system status.  Maybe a query of the server logs.  And I also know another wrench to this is if the system is cloud-based, on-prem, hosted, etc.  But yeah, if I knew what I was looking for then I wouldn't ask.  But there would be a dashboard of KPIs with our various system statuses and logs.
