Performance Other Alarms

The Performance: Other category monitors system performance counters that you add. You can add any counter that is available on a monitored system, and the local agent tracks it.

The Performance: Other category is on the Alarms tab of a role (Configure > System Configuration > Roles). To turn these alarms on and change their limits, times, and profiles, see Configure Alarms in a Role.

Add a Counter to Performance: Other

On the Alarms tab of the role, click the + (plus) icon next to Performance: Other.
In the Add New Setting dialog, select a system in the Model System list. The list shows Windows systems and does not include master systems. The system that you select determines the available performance objects.
If the Login dialog opens, enter a User Name and Password, and click OK. This dialog opens only in SysTrack On-Premises, when the selected model system runs an agent older than 9.0. In cloud, such a system shows an error that asks you to upgrade the agent.
Select a Performance Object from the drop-down list.
Select a Counter from the drop-down list.
If appropriate, select an Instance from the drop-down list, and then click Create.
Repeat steps 1 to 6 for each additional performance counter that you want to add.
Set the values of each new counter. The settings are described in Performance Other Counter Settings.
Click Save Changes at the top right of the Roles page.
