Adding Microsoft Windows Performance Monitor sources
To capture resource monitoring
data from Microsoft Windows Performance Monitor,
you must configure the data source.
Before you begin
Procedure
To configure the Windows Performance Monitor data source:
What to do next
Note: The host that you want
to monitor must be accessible through the Windows network. Resource monitoring data
is collected using the net use command to establish
a connection to remote computers. File and printer sharing must be
enabled on the computer running the Windows operating
system. Simple File Sharing, where remote connections are processed
as access by the Guest user, must be disabled. In addition, system
policies must not be set so that remote connections are processed
as access by the Guest user. For example, if the Network
security: Sharing and security model for local accounts policy
is set to Guest only - local user authenticate as Guest and
the Accounts: Guest account status policy
is set to Enabled, then remote connections
are processed as access by the Guest user. In that case, resource
monitoring data is not collected.
Typically, if you are able to connect to a shared hard disk drive on the remote host from the workbench, then you will also be able to collect resource monitoring data from Windows Performance Monitor on the remote host. If file and printer sharing is not enabled on the remote host and you attempt to set up resource monitoring in a schedule, the following message is displayed:
IWAY0241E The host name IP_address is either not a known host or is not a Windows host.
To enable Windows file and printer sharing:
- Open the Network Connections Control Panel.
- Right-click the Local Area Connection (or the currently active network adapter).
- In the menu, click Properties.
- Select File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks in This connection uses the following items.
- Click OK.
