Using WMI

Is there a way to use WMI to create a disk perfomance alert?  Is there documentation somewhere that I am missing? 


 New to ipMonitor but liking it very much so far.

  • Hi Lance,

    Are you looking to monitor Disk Performance and have an Alert based on the threshold rate?

    One option is to use the Exchange Server Monitor, but not use the Exchange specific counters.

    Here is a list of system Counters you can use:

    Performance Counters:

    Disk Read Bytes per Second
    Disk Write Bytes per Second
    Pages per Second
    Page File Percentage Used
    Process Queue Length
    Context Switches
    Number of Processes

    The other option is to use our External Monitor in conjunction with a WMI script.  Let me know if this helps.

  • Thanks Derek.  That is exactly what I am looking for.
