h1. 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.
h2. Comprehensive Monitoring
You can manage and monitor your Windows OS with Sun xVM Ops Center, including the following key OS parameters:
* Connectivity
* File system status
* Monitoring variables
* CPU usage
* Memory usage
* Network usage
Historical data includes CPU, memory, I/O and power data. You can store the data for future management analysis. Based on the data collected, users can graph the historical data for trend analysis and forecasting.
