MONITORING COMPUTER HEALTH

3. From the Objects column, select the object you want to monitor.

4. From the Instances column, select the instance of the object you want to monitor, if

applicable.

5. From the Counters column, select the specific counter you want to monitor.

6. Specify polling interval and days to keep history.

7. In the Alert after counter is out of range drop-down list, specify the number of times the

counter will be allowed to cross the thresholds before an alert is generated.

8. Specify upper and/or lower thresholds.

9. Click Apply.

Notes

• Performance log files can quickly grow in size; polling a single counter at a two second

interval adds 2.5MB of information to the performance log daily.

• Changing the Alert after counter is out of range number lets you choose to focus on an

issue when it is a persistent problem or when it is an isolated event. For example, if you

are monitoring the bytes sent from a Web server, Intel Server Manager can alert you

when the bytes/sec consistently runs high. Or, you can specify a low number such as 1 or

2 to get alerted whenever your anonymous FTP connections exceeds a certain number

of users.

To set a performance alert action

1. Click Management, then click Alerts.

2. Click Performance.

3. Click the tab of the status type (OK or Warning) you want to set alerts for.

4. Click the types of alerts you want to send and click Apply.

5. To set options for an alert (if applicable), click Apply to save your settings, then click Set

preferences.

Note—You must select a counter or counters to monitor before alerting can take place.
