Scheduling Refresh Monitor Targets
Because monitors can address targets that are members of dynamic groups, refreshing
these ensures that group memberships are up-to-date. To do this, you can create or alter the
schedule for Monitor Target Refresh. When executed, this updates monitors with groups as
targets based on current memberships. This removes targets no longer members of a
monitored group and adds new group members. A seeded schedule refreshes these every
six hours, by default.
Tip: Y
ou can also Refresh Monitor manually by right-clicking in the Resource
Monitors table.
Top [Asset] Monitors
NMS200 uses seeded, default Active Performance Monitors (APM) to display performance
data in several categories. These portlets display the summary results of device monitoring,
for example, the devices using the most memory.
Devices appear, ranked by the monitored parameter. Hover the cursor over a row’s summary
graph of % Memory and a popup graph of recent activity over time appears.
If you right-click a monitored item, you can select from menu items like those that appear in
the portlet described in Managed Resources on page 133.
For some portlets (for example Top CPU Utilization, Top Ping Response and Top Memory
Utilization), the right-click Performance menu items include Key Metrics (see Key Metric
Editor on page 118). The menu can include Performance History.
