Performance Counter Monitor Template
The Performance Counter Monitor Template enables you to monitor Windows Performance Counters (e.g. CPU). This template is typically used by systems administrators to monitor operating system and application server performance on Windows hosts. The Performance Counter Monitor Template uses WMI to query performance counters.
How to configure the Performance Counter Monitor Template:
- From the Menu Bar, select File | New. The Create New Object View displays.
- From the Create New Object View, expand Templates | Windows Monitors then select Performance Counter Monitor. The New Template Properties View displays.
- The Template Properties view contains 4 tabs.

Once selected, the host is automatically assigned to this template.
- Use the Category drop-down to select the performance counter category (e.g. Processor).

When first dropped down, the drop-down asynchronously queries the selected host for the available categories. The drop-down contents may take a moment to display.
- Use the Instance drop-down to select the category instance (e.g. % Processor Time).
