Before You Begin Real-Time

Before you access the Real-Time monitoring functions, please refer to the following overview:

1.      Confirm that critical resources are defined by using the View Resource Definitions function (Master user). If none are defined, use the Add Resource Definitions in the Master module to set up the devices for monitoring.

2.      Start monitoring for five to six critical resources. Use the Start Monitoring function in the Master tab to first select the devices to be monitored and then to set Start Monitoring.

After Start Monitoring has been set, events that occur on the PC are irrelevant. The Host performs the monitoring for Performance and Availability. There are other functions that require the PC to be active, but for the Performance and Availability Monitoring function, the PC may either be turned off or used for another task.
