Specifying the Performance Monitor Settings


Important:

The chosen settings apply to this monitoring session only. The settings revert back to the default settings if you exit and re-open the Performance Monitor.

  1. Select Storage Subsystem >> Monitor Performance .
  2. Click Settings.
    1. Select the items that you will monitor. You can monitor these items:
      • The
      • The
      • The totals
    2. Select how often that you want to update the performance statistics by adjusting the polling interval.
    Each time the polling interval elapses, the Performance Monitor queries the storage subsystem again and updates the statistics in the table.
  3. Click OK.

    If you are monitoring the storage subsystem in real time, update the statistics frequently by selecting a short polling interval; for example, 5 seconds.

    If you are saving results to a file to look at later, choose a slightly longer interval, for example, 30 to 60 seconds, to decrease the system overhead and the performance impact.
