  1. On the Details or Map View, right-click a device, then click Properties. The Device Properties dialog appears.
  2. Click Performance Monitors. The Performance Monitors list appears.
  3. Select CPU Utilization, then click Configure. The Configure CPU Utilization dialog appears.
  4. Enter or select the appropriate information:
    • Collect data for. Select the CPU(s) for which you want to gather data. You can choose to track all CPUs or a specific CPU. If you select All CPUs, all CPUs in the list are automatically selected.
    • Data collection interval. Enter how often (in minutes) you want data to be collected for the selected CPUs. This number represents the number of minutes between each collection.

    Tip: Click Advanced to specify the timeout and number of retries, and how WhatsUp Gold is to determine uniqueness when the monitor is tracking more than one CPU.
