About the Performance Monitor Library

The Performance Monitor Library dialog displays the Performance Monitors that have been created for WhatsUp Gold. Performance Monitors gather information about specific WMI and SNMP values from the network devices.

Note: Default monitors in the library cannot be edited or removed: CPU Utilization, Disk Utilization, Interface Utilization, and Ping Latency and Availability.

Use the Performance Monitor Library to configure and manage Performance Monitors. When custom Performance Monitors are changed, the changes affect each instance of that particular monitor across the device groups.

To access the Performance Monitor Library dialog:

• From the console main menu, select Configure > Performance Monitor Library.

  - or -

• From the web interface, select GO. If the WhatsUp section is not visible, click WhatsUp. Then, from the WhatsUp section of the menu, select Configure > Performance Monitor Library.

  

To configure Performance Monitors for the devices they are assigned to:
