The Windows WMI Server Stats monitoring point reviews selected server statistics and reports back to the user. A threshold can be entered, and if that threshold is exceeded a warning can be issued.
Four different sub checks may be performed within this check. These sub checks may be performed either all in one check, or a point/check may be set up individually. The four sub checks are as follows:
ALL - performs CPU, MEM, and DISK checks
CPU - Checks total CPU percent usage
MEM - Checks percent of physical memory used
DISK - Checks percent of disk space used (up to 8 local/physical disks)
Note: This point will only check Windows Servers via WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation). In addition, this point will only check Windows servers on the same LAN as the GeoSystems Monitor server, as WMI uses DCOM ports to communicate.
The parameters that are unique to the Windows WMI Server Stats include:
Server Name |
Remote server name to check |
Stats |
|
Threshold-%;85 |
A number representing a threshold percentage when the point/check is considered an issue. This threshold will apply to any/all metrics (for example, 85 would indicate that the threshold is 85% CPU usage or 85% of Memory usage, etc.). |
userID |
Either a domain user ID or a local account that will have access on the Remote server to be monitored
Note: userID should be entered as encrypted information |
userPW |
Password associated with userID account Note: userPW should be entered as encrypted information |
Note: When configuring the GeoSystems Monitor engine service, if a logon account is used to run the service that has access to the Remote servers, ex. domain account, then entering a userID and userPW shouldn't be necessary. |
