The WMI Formatted monitor checks for specific values on WMI-enabled devices. Monitored metrics include systems resources like CPU, disk, and memory utilization, as well as specific process performance counters. While similar to the WMI monitor that uses raw data, the WMI Formatted active monitor uses calculated counter data.

Provide a unique name and description for the monitor, then configure the following:

  • Performance Counter/Instance. Select the target device, performance object, counter, and instance to monitor.
  • Check Type. Select one of the following check types:
    • When Constant Value is selected:
    • Value. Depending on the performance counter selected, enter the appropriate value.
    • If the value matches, then the monitor is: select Up or Down.
    • When Range of Values is selected:
    • Low Value. Depending on the performance counter selected, enter the appropriate value.
    • High Value. Depending on the performance counter selected, enter the appropriate value.
    • When Rate of Change in Value is selected:
    • Rate of Change (in variable units per second). Enter the desired value.
    • If the value is above the rate, then the monitor is: select Up or Down.
