Admin Tools Sitecore provides a basic cache monitoring page. /sitecore/admin/cache.asp and many other tools see /sitecore/admin/

Performance counter You can use Windows Performance counters: see https://sitecorebasics.wordpress.com/2014/10/25/sitecore-8-0-performance-counters/

On Azure application insight see https://doc.sitecore.com/developers/91/sitecore-experience-management/en/configure-application-insights-post-deployment.html

Log file A lot of information is in the log file, http://sitecore-community.github.io/docs/documentation/Sitecore%20Fundamentals/Logging/ or Azure application insight https://doc.sitecore.com/developers/91/sitecore-experience-management/en/analytics.html

Custom Admin page You can easily create your own admin page with the details you want to monitor. for the caching you can use the Sitecore.Caching.CacheManager in your code.

Sitecore Event and Pipelines Sitecore is easy to extend with custom code, you can also easily add extra logging to you windows application. by subscribe to an Event https://sitecore-community.github.io/docs/pipelines-and-events/events/ or add an extra process to a pipeline. http://sitecore-community.github.io/docs/pipelines-and-events/pipelines/
