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.
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.
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.
