Working with Performance Monitors
The Performance Monitor Library is a central storehouse of all global performance monitors
configured for your network. Performance monitors (on page 630) gather information about
specific WMI and SNMP values from the network devices.
Note: Default monitors in the library cannot be edited or removed: CPU Utilization, Disk
Utilization, Interface Utilization, and Ping Latency and Availability.
You can use the Performance Monitor Library to configure and manage performance
monitors.
Use the Performance Monitor Library dialog to configure new or existing performance
monitor types:

Utilization, Interface Utilization, and Ping Latency and Availability.
