This chapter contains the following step-by-step instructions for these features:
•
Create a Server Status Monitor Dashboard

• Create an Adaptive CLI Monitor
• Create a Monitor for an External Script

You can see Performance Options from a variety of locations by right-clicking in OpenManage
Network Manager. For example:
• Ports in the Ports portlet
•Interfaces
• Ports/Interfaces in the Details panels lets you
Show Performance
• Right-clicking on any of the above within a Reference tree lets you select Performance
Options.

Top N [Assets] portlets let you right-click for Performance options.
Monitors do not directly
monitor string attributes, but you can create an extractive Adaptive CLI
monitor that responds to string values in devices. See
Example 5: Monitor Text Values on page 602
for an example.
