Configuring performance objects
To configure performance objects,
follow these steps:
- In the left-hand pane of
the Statistical Console, select your performance trace node. Expand the
node to reveal performance objects in the tree.
Note: in the case of a performance trace node, only the
highest level performance objects are initially displayed. These highest level performance
object are typically not actually metrics, but rather containers for related
metrics. To expose the actual metrics you must recursively request the children
of a particular performance object until its metrics are displayed. To request
the children of a performance object, select Get Child Counters from its
pop-up menu and then wait for the "+" symbol to appear beside the
performance object in the tree to indicate that its children have been
retrieved.

- To enable any message from
Perfmon Trace to be displayed in the Common Base Event log, select the Messages
node.
- Under the Trace Controls node, the following metrics can be enabled:
- Frequency (sec)
Requested (Control)
Frequency with which the Perfmon performance objects are updated.
- Frequency (sec)
Requested (Graph 1)
Frequency against the designated scale in the Graphs tab area.
- Frequency (sec)
Measured (Graph 1)
Display actual frequency achieved against the designated scale in the
Graphs tab area
- To disable a performance
object, clear the check box for the object.
