Resource Monitors

Use the Resource Monitors task to view statistics about critical system resources, such as processor, disk, and memory usage. With resource monitors, you also can set thresholds to detect potential problems with managed systems or devices. When a threshold is met or exceeded, an event is generated. You create event action plans to respond to resource-monitor events. You can apply resource monitors to individual managed systems and devices and to groups.
