Operating System probes

Use an operating system probe to monitor system resources, CPU usage, disk activity, physical memory use, and network traffic.

The Server document, Miscellaneous tab, contains a spindle count interface that is used with the DDM OS Disk probes for Microsoft Windows servers only. Specifying spindle counts is important because the disk statistics monitored by the OS Disk probe on Microsoft Windows is adjusted by Domino® to account for the disk spindle counts. Enter spindle count information after setting up the DDM OS probes.

This table contains the names and descriptions of the Operating System probes that you can define.
