Viewing the performance metrics

When you add a monitoring source to the resource monitoring service and select performance counters, the resource monitoring process is automatically started. You can view the performance metrics of the system through statistics and a graph for each monitored source and selected counter.

Before you begin

You must have configured a monitoring source. See Monitoring host resources, Monitoring metrics collected by a Prometheus server, and Monitoring metrics exposed by an OpenMetrics exporter.

You access the performance metric results by clicking links in the tables that show the number of monitored sources.
