The Windows performance monitor can query a Windows performance counter to compare with a compare value using a compare operation. If the compare operation evaluates to false the monitor fails the test. Optionally two performance counters can be queried and combined before being compared with the compare value.
Object/Counter/Instance - Name of the primary performance asset to test. These values can be enumerated by using the enumeration function. The instance field is intentionally left blank for some counter types. Click the Rescan link to refresh these values
Object/Counter/Instance - Optional. Secondary performance asset. These values can be enumerated by using the enumeration function. The instance field is intentionally left blank for some counter types.
Combine operation - Optional operation used when querying two counters. They can be combined into a final result by using the add, subtract, divide or multiply operation.
Divisor - A value that the retrieved value is divided with before the comparison.
Data type - The unit of data sampled by the test. This makes it possible to group data with other monitors using the same type in reports.
Value type - Type of value that is compared with the retrieved value.
Compare Operation - Operation to use when comparing.
Compare value - Value to compare with the resulting value from the calculation.
Inherit credentials - Specifies the Windows domain credential, if one is required. If checked, inherited. If blank, overrides the Windows domain credential set for the asset on the Authentication tab of an asset node.
