Troubleshooting Intermittent Slowness on Network Share
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-client/networking/networking-overview plenty of windows troubleshooting tips here too, and this is pretty good symon script saves to event viewer even after a reboot! , also care with wireshark as it may give you a false sense of there's a fault, try tcpIPview from sysinternals and yeah procmon for sure. https://github.com/SwiftOnSecurity/sysmon-config use psping to ping the server directly and see the latency goes up and down, you can ping it more often every 1 second so you get a better more detailed resul.

Cheap, Fast, Good and Simple Remote Monitoring for Small Environments
There's all sorts of things you can do for various types of monitoring including Zabbix, Graylog, roll-your-own with Sysmon (see https://github.com/SwiftOnSecurity/sysmon-config), etc. The question becomes one of time - don't get so focused on DIY or free that you spend hours (or pay someone to spend hours) a month babysitting.

How do you actually threat hunt?
If you don't catch it what changes can you do to your logging to enable it? Can you push it out to the environment? While sysmon is awesome, you can do your hunts with built in logging most of the time... Just might not have all the data around it you want to have. I would throw sysmon on a test box (make sure you have a config file that filters out the noise: https://github.com/SwiftOnSecurity/sysmon-config)

Help required in order to investigate
You might want to start by using something to build a timeline around the hour that you have to look at. You can use this to extract ALL evtx logs from that timeframe and put them in temporal order. If you aren't used to digging through these though, you're going to find a lot of things that look suspicious, but aren't. You'll have to do some baselineing for what is in your environment. https://github.com/BeanBagKing/EventFinder2
