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 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.
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.
