XP Performance Advisor automatically executes the script when the performance of a resource
crosses the set threshold level.

other records. For more information, see “Applying a template” on page 131.
Sample script file The following is an example of a script file: C:/Temp/a.xml. The format of
the XML file should be as follows:

<Service>
<Method>Run Script</Met=”1.0”?>hod>
<!- Enter the full path name of your script file –>

Enabling or disabling alarms
By default, XP Performance Advisor monitors only those resources for which alarms are enabled and
sends appropriate notifications to intended recipients when required. Though threshold and dispatch
settings are configured on resources, they are not monitored until you enable alarms on those resources.
You must manually activate or enable an alarm on a resource for XP Performance Advisor to start
monitoring the selected resource and send notifications. To enable alarms on resources:
1. Click Alarms in the left pane.
