Monitoring a Windows OS
Sun xVM Ops Center enables you to manage and monitor your Windows, Solaris, and Linux operating systems from a single console. A lightweight Java™ agent monitors key OS parameters such as CPU, memory, swap space, file system, I/O, and power information. The monitoring capabilities are available when your Enterprise Controller is connected to the Internet, or in an environment without an Internet connection (disconnected mode).
You can configure the thresholds to meet your data center guidelines. You are notified when a defined threshold is exceeded. You choose how you want to receive the alert: by e-mail or on the BUI. Event logging records all events for the monitored attributes.
