4.5.5 CPU Usage
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.

having one processor.
4.5.6 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.
