Performance monitoring lets you monitor your servers' system and application performance to detect immediate performance issues and analyze performance trends over time.
You can monitor any performance counter available on the monitored system and either be alerted when a counter exceeds a preset threshold or log counter data in the EventSentry database.
You can setup performance alerts to be notified if a monitored counter exceeds, matches or falls below a set limit. You can configure how often the performance counter should be monitored (e.g. every 30 seconds), and for how long the performance counter has to exceed the limit before an alert is generated. Once an alert is generated, you can be notified through any of the supported notifications methods since performance alerts are logged to the event log. For example, you can receive an email when a process on a server uses more than 95% of CPU time for more than 15 minutes.
If you have multiple performance counters that are related (e.g. low system memory and a high disk queue length) then you can configure performance groups to be notified when both monitored counters exceed your limits.
You can setup EventSentry to record performance data in the EventSentry database. This is particularly useful for analyzing past system and/or application performance to detect future trends and justify system upgrades. See our web reports for example performance charts.
