About the Web Performance Monitor
The Web Performance Monitor extends the functionality of the Microsoft Windows Performance Monitor to the Web. It is a data collecting and graphing utility designed specifically for the WhatsUp Gold Web interface that graphs and displays real-time information on user-specified SNMP and WMI performance counters. It can be used for a quick inspection of a specific network device.
The graphs can be saved to the database and displayed on workspace views using the Split Second Graph - Performance Monitor workspace report or on the Web Performance Monitor tool. Multiple SNMP and WMI counters can be displayed on a single graph, and the color and scale of each graphed item can be individually configured.
Graphs created with the Web Performance Monitor are saved on a per-user account basis, meaning, graphs are only accessible by the user account that created and saved them.
The Web Performance Monitor has two purposes:
- To provide a Web enabled WMI and SNMP performance counter poller and grapher. It supports WMI for Windows servers, and SNMP for network devices such as switches, routers, and UNIX devices.
- To build and edit graphs for use by the Performance Monitor workspace report. You can use this workspace report to display any saved graph.
