Add a system counter

System counters allow you to monitor CPU, memory, network, and disk resources for Windows and Linux machines.

Add a Windows system counter

Complete the following steps to add a Windows system counter.

注:

If the Windows machine you want to monitor is located on Amazon Web Services (AWS), use an Amazon counter instead and refer to the How To: Configure ArcGIS Monitor system counters in AWS support article for more information.

  1. Start Monitor Administrator.

    The Connections view appears.

  2. Click Open on the Monitor Server application connection to which you want to add the counter.

    The collection pane appears.

  3. In the tree view, expand the collection and monitor service to which you want to add the counter.
  4. Click System in the tree view to choose it.
  5. Right-click System and click Add.
  6. Expand System in the tree view and click New System.

    The Config tab appears.

  7. Type the host name of the machine you want to monitor in the Hostname text box.
  8. Choose Windows in the Operating System drop-down list.
  9. Choose a sample interval from the Sample Interval drop-down menu.
    注:

    It is recommended that you not use sample intervals greater than 5 minutes for critical alerts as this can skew availability statistics. For more information, see View collection availability.

  10. Optionally type a description in the Description text box.
  11. Click Test to test the counter.

    The test results are displayed below the Test button.
