GFI Network Server Monitor Configuring monitor functions • 69
CPU Usage
NOTE: This monitor function requires WMI to be installed on the
computer running GFI Network Server Monitor as well as on the
computer being monitored. The monitor function will create a VBscript
which uses WMI with the parameters you specify in the check
parameters dialog. WMI is only available on Windows 2000 and higher
computers, therefore this monitor function can only be used if both the
GFI Network Server Monitor computer and the computer to be
monitored are running Windows 2000 or higher.
GFI Network Server Monitor can check the processor usage status on
Windows based target computers. You can setup alerts and trigger
other actions (e.g. run an external file) whenever the load of a specific
processor exceeds the maximum usage allowed.
Screenshot 62 - CPU usage check parameters dialog
A CPU Usage function requires the following parameters:
• Maximum global CPU usage allowed – Specify the (maximum) %
CPU usage allowed on the target computer.
• Processor – Specify which CPU will be checked. CPU0 is the
default value for computers having one processor.
Directory/Folder Size
GFI Network Server Monitor can check the disk space used by a
directory / folder on target computers. You can use this function to
implement a disk control / quota system, which notifies you when a
specific folder exceeds the maximum size specified.
