To capture resource monitoring
data from Microsoft Windows Performance Monitor,
you must configure the 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.
