A unit monitor monitors the performance counter over two successive cycles to check if it exceeds a threshold value. When
the threshold value is exceeded, the Dell EMC PowerEdge Server changes state and generates an alert. This unit monitor is
disabled by default. You can override (enable) the threshold values in the Authoring pane of the SCOM console. Unit monitors
are available under Dell Windows Server objects for the Dell EMC Server and Rack Workstation Monitoring feature. To enable
the threshold values of unit monitors, see Enable performance and power monitoring unit monitors on page 16.
To enable the PowerEdge server performance collection rules and for more information about the performance information
collection, see Enable PowerEdge server performance collection rules set on the SCOM console on page 16.
