Live Connect

Monitor > Live Connect

The Live Connect page displays live performance counter data for a selected machine ID. Only machines IDs assigned one or more monitor sets using Assign Monitoring are listed on this page. The list of machine IDs you can select depends on the Machine ID / Group ID filter.

Each specific live connect displays in a new window. Each window displays a bar chart with 75 data points containing the value of the counter object for the Refresh Rate specified. The chart refresh rate can be set between 3 and 60 seconds. The new data displays on the far right of the chart and the data moves from right to left as it ages.

Each bar within the chart displays in a specific color, which is determined by the alarm and warning thresholds of the monitor set counter object.

  • Red - if alarming
  • Yellow - if within warning threshold
  • Green - if not alarming or not in warning threshold
