3. Select the counters from the individual performance views and select the time range for which the values are required.
The data collected is represented in a graphical format for each system.
Next steps
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 server changes state and generates an alert. This unit monitor is disabled by default. You can
override (enable and modify) the threshold values from the Authoring pane of the OpsMgr console. Unit monitor is available
under Monitors for Dell Windows Server objects for Server In-band Monitoring feature, and is available under Monitors for
Dell Server objects for Server (Out-of-band) Monitoring feature.
For more information on performance information collection, see Performance Collection Rules.
Unit Monitors
Unit monitors assess the various conditions that can occur in monitored objects. The result of this assessment determines the
health state of a target.
The unit monitors are:
● Event Monitor — triggered by the event that the Dell instrumentation logs in the Windows event log, indicating the health
of the corresponding object.
● Periodic Monitor — triggered by a periodic poll configured as Interval Seconds.
The following tables illustrates the various Dell monitors and the applicable parameters for your Dell devices.
