OneSight Administrator Guide

Configuring Perfmon Monitors
Authentication – Configure these settings when a OneSight Data
Collector or Remote Agent is not running on the system being
monitored. If you are monitoring a remote system that is
running Windows Server 2003 or newer addition, and that does
not have a Data Collector or Remote Agent running on it, you
must use the same user name and password for all monitors on
a given system. Otherwise, your monitor may fail to connect to
the OneSight Server.
User Name – Specifies the logon name that will provide
access to the monitored machine. The user name and
password that you specify must have administrative
privileges on the monitored machine.
Domain – Specifies the domain or machine name of the user
name account.
Password – Specifies the password associated with the user
name you supply. The user name and password that you
specify must have administrative privileges on the monitored
machine.
Test – When you add or modify a monitor, you can test System
settings to determine if they are set appropriately. After clicking
the Test button, you will see messages in the status window as
the test runs and when the test completes.
3. Each monitor that you add must have a unique name. You can
let OneSight create a unique name using the Perfmon
specifications you supply, or you can type in your own name
for the monitor.
