Measure how much file space is used in the node's disk storage space.
This monitor is useful for models that have Read and Write commands
that change the size of files.
Measure the number of busy processors. For a single processor node,
the result is the utilization of the processor. Frequently the processor will
be busy with short duration tasks and, thus, it is generally desirable to
collect this utilization averaged over a convenient interval.
Measure the input buffer level of the node. Since packets arrive and leave
buffers very frequently, it is generally desirable to collect averaged buffer
levels for plotting.
Measure the output buffer level of the node. Since packets arrive and
leave buffers very frequently, it is generally desirable to collect averaged
buffer levels for plotting.
Measure the call bandwidth allocated through this node. It is useful when
modeling bandwidth-switched calls with call sources, and it gives the
total bandwidth of all the calls using this node.
Measure the number of calls in progress established by the node.
Measure the number of call channels in use by the node.
