3.3 Alerts by Windows NT Performance Monitor
Windows NT Performance Monitor is a part of the Windows NT system. It can
supervise a wealth of system functions of Windows NT on the local or remote
system. See 2.2.2, “Windows NT Performance Monitor” on page 56 for more
details about NT Performance Monitor. This chapter only covers the alerts
generation and forwarding.
Alerts in Windows NT are triggered from the controller in defined time intervals.
There is no agent needed to assist or perform the monitoring. Therefore, no
triggering from a controlled system or process is possible.
3.3.1 Alert Generating
You can create an alert profile by defining one or more alerts from various
groups for the local and/or multiple remote systems and save this profile to a
.PMA file on the managing system.
To define a profile do the following:
1. Open Windows NT Performance Monitor.
2. Choose View then Alert.
3. Choose Edit and Add to Alert or click on the + button.
4. Select the computer name from the system you would like to supervise.
5. Select an object group.
6. Select desired counter and, if applicable, the instance.
7. Assign a color to identify the alert.
