Method and apparatus of establishing computer network monitoring criteria

摘要

A method and apparatus of monitoring computer devices operating on a network is disclosed. Computer devices are all different and require monitoring settings that are tailored to their specific requirements. One example method of automatically configuring a set of monitoring requirements may include creating initial monitor counter values at a computing device and monitoring at least one computer based on the initial monitor counter values. Additional operations may include calculating override monitor counter values based on the monitoring of the at least one computer, and monitoring the at least one computer based on the override monitor counter values. The override values may be better suited for the device(s) being monitored and may replace the previously used monitoring settings.

1. A method, comprising:
monitoring at least one computer based on initial monitor counter values; calculating override monitor counter values based on the monitoring of the at least one computer; and monitoring the at least one computer based on the override monitor counter values without creating individual monitor sets for each computing device on a network.
