When you start the Server Monitor, the Overview page appears. To return to the Overview page from any other page, click Overview.

By default, the Server Monitor retrieves data for graphs every five seconds; it retrieves data for reports every thirty seconds. All of the graphs let you display either all of the data collected, or the data collected for a specified recent period of time.

The Server Monitor lets you control the detail, which you turn on and off with the following buttons:

Start Monitoring

urns on all monitoring.

Start Profiling

urns on monitoring of individual tags, functions, and query execution times.

Start Memory Tracking

urns on tracking of memory that different scopes use. If Profiling is also on, the Server Monitor tracks the memory that individual tags, functions, and queries use.

Turning on or off monitoring, profiling, and memory tracking determines which data the Server Monitor gathers. For example, all of the query reports require that you turn on profiling. The performance effect of turning on monitoring and profiling is minimal; however the performance effect of memory tracking can be significant.

The Server Monitor contains the following sections:

• Overview
• Statistics
• Alerts
• Snapshots
