Monitor Sets

Monitor > Monitor Sets

The Monitor Sets page adds, imports or modifies monitor sets. Sample monitor sets can be loaded using the System > Configure page.

A monitor set is a collection of counter objects, counters, counter instances, services and processes used to monitor the performances of machines. Typically, a threshold is assigned to each object/counter/instance, service, or process in a monitor set. Alarms can be set to trigger if any of the thresholds in the monitor set are exceeded. A monitor set should be used as a logical collection of things to monitor. A logical grouping, for example, could be to monitor all counters and services integral to running an Exchange Server. Monitor sets are maintained using Monitor > Monitor Sets. and are assigned to machine IDs using Monitor > Assign Monitoring. You can assign monitoring to any machine that has an operating system of Windows 2000 or newer. The results of monitoring can be displayed using Monitor > Monitor Log or View Console.

Note: Monitor sets represent a more complex method for triggering alarms. Typical alarms should be defined using the Alerts page.

Note: Not all monitor sets may be available for editing on the Monitor Set page, since the creator of a monitor set may only have shared the use of the monitor set but not the editing of the set.
