2

Select the Settings button.

3

Select items to monitor, and click OK.

Note: You can select or deselect the Storage Array Totals row for display on the Settings dialog.

Changing a Polling Interval

To change the polling interval, choose a number of seconds in the spin box. Each time the polling interval elapses, the Performance Monitor re-queries the  and updates the statistics in the table.

If you are monitoring the Storage Array in real time, update the statistics frequently by selecting a short polling interval, for example, 5 seconds.

If you are saving results to a file to look at later, choose a slightly longer interval, for example, 30 to 60 seconds, to decrease the system overhead and the performance impact.
