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 Dell 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 Agent-based monitoring feature.
