Learning about performance monitors
The performance monitor reports deliver information about system thresholds for resources
in your network.
Use performance monitor reports to view performance data (CPU, disk, interface, and
memory utilization) for devices. These reports that track utilization and availability
information for these device components. Performance monitors gather performance
counter data from network devices that have SNMP or WMI enabled. For more information,
see Creating custom performance monitors (on page 260).
In addition to the default performance monitor reports, you can create custom monitors
which let you view specific performance information for APC UPS, Printer, Active Script,
SNMP, SSH, and WMI performance counters.
Add and edit the following performance monitors through the Performance Monitor Library.
Apply performance monitors to individual devices through the Device Properties dialog.
From the Device Properties Performance Monitor dialog, you can enable:
Pre-configured performance monitors. These are the default monitors that are
stored in the Monitor Library.
Individual (device-specific) performance monitors. These are custom monitors
that require configuration for specific devices.
Note: Unlike the other performance monitors, because a printer monitor is specific to an
individual printer device, you can only add the Printer Performance Monitor as an individual
performance monitor in the Device Properties Performance Monitor dialog.
