Custom Performance Monitor

Custom Performance Monitor report reveals measurements for your custom performance monitor.

(Report Options). Jump to a detailed dashboard or control panel for:
- Device Properties.
- Device Status (Device Status, Device Status).
- RealTime Performance Monitor.
Device. Device identifier.
Monitor. Name of monitor.
Last Poll Value. Single value retrieved from the device during the last poll.
Last Poll. Duration since last sample.

Please note, the following columns are not displayed by default when Last Polled is the selected time frame.

Avg. Average monitor value for the specified time period.
Min. Minimum monitor value observed.
Max. Maximum monitor value observed.

Generate a report

Choose Device. Choose one or more host devices you want Custom Performance Monitor measurements for.

Choose time constraints. (,) Choose times for the Custom Performance Monitor. (For recently observed measurements, select Last Polled from the Date Range drop down list.)

Filter and reduce by row and by column. Sort and remove columns, group rows based on specific column values, and remove unwanted information from the table.

Chart, adjust output, and visualize. Fine tune report presentation and range of values displayed using the Report Settings dialog (optional).

Note: This report only returns Custom Performance Monitor metrics for devices that already have the appropriate WMI or SNMP credentials. For more information, see Using Credentials.

Note: If a device group is selected, you can also filter the Custom Performance Monitor report to display data for an individual custom performance monitor.

Tip: For certain custom monitor types (VoIP SLA, for example) you have another way to filter or reduce the row data displayed. For these scenarios, use the Custom Performance Monitor Selection table in Report Settings to hide/reveal monitor rows from the report table.
