CPU Usage Check

ActiveXperts Network Monitor provides the 'CPU Usage' check to monitor processor(s) on Windows platforms. If the CPU load exceeds the limit, a notification is being generated. ActiveXperts Network Monitor uses WMI Class Win32_Processor to retrieve the CPU load.

A CPU Usage check takes the following parameters:

Server - The NetBIOS name, DNS name or the IP address of the server you want to monitor;
All CPU's or This CPU - Select 'All CPU's' or 'This CPU'; on a multi-processor system, you can monitor a specific CPU ('This CPU'). To monitor all processors on a single- or multi-processor system, select 'All CPU's';
Max. CPU Usage - Maximum allowed CPU usage (%);
Credentials- If different credentials are required to access the remote server, specify login and password here.

About WMI

The foundations for Manageability in Windows XP/Windows 2000 and Windows Millennium Edition/Windows 98 are Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI; formerly WBEM) and WMI extensions for Windows Driver Model (WDM).
The purpose of WMI is to define a non-proprietary set of environment-independent specifications. These specifications allow management information to be shared between management applications that run in both similar and dissimilar operating system environments. WMI prescribes enterprise management standards and related technologies that work with existing management standards, such as Desktop Management Interface (DMI) and SNMP. WMI complements these other standards by providing a uniform model. This model represents the managed environment through which management data from any source can be accessed in a common way.
ActiveXperts Network Monitor provides the ability to build monitor check routines based on WMI.
