Specifying Performance Monitor Settings

Use this option to select logical drives and controllers to monitor or to change the polling interval.

Important: Chosen settings apply to this monitoring session only (that is, the settings will revert back to the default settings if you exit and re-open the Performance Monitor.)

Selecting Logical Drives and Controllers to Monitor

To select logical drives and controllers to monitor, press the SHIFT+CLICK or CTRL+CLICK to select multiple contiguous or non-contiguous devices in the list, respectively. To select every device, press Select All.

Note: The Storage Subsystem Totals row can be selected or unselected for display on the Settings dialog.

Changing a Polling Interval

To change the polling interval, choose a number of seconds in the spin box. Each time the polling interval elapses, the Performance Monitor re-queries the Storage Subsystem and updates the statistics in the table.

If you're monitoring the Storage Subsystem in real time, update the statistics frequently by selecting a short polling interval, for example, 5 seconds.

If you're saving results to a file to look at later, choose a slightly longer interval, for example 30 to 60 seconds, to decrease the system overhead and the performance impact.

Applying Performance Monitor Settings

To apply the new settings, select OK.
