Using the Monitor - Single EMS Server
These displays present detailed performance metrics, alert status and connection information for a single EMS server.

  • Single Server Summary: Shows information for a single EMS server such as server connection details, the number of client connections, memory utilization, message performance metrics and alert status.
  • Single Server Trends: Trend graphs show utilization metrics for a single EMS server, such as the number of client connections, number of pending messages and in/out rate, and memory and disk utilization.
  • Single Server Tables: Tables show information about how the Monitor is connected to the EMS server, metrics queried from the server and alert details.
