Host System Monitor Providers can be used to provide monitoring information about host system cpu, memory utilization, disk devices and network interface utilization. Enabling host system cpu, memory, disk and network interface I/O monitoring requires running an external collector helper process except on Linux systems.
Host system monitoring is not available on Windows systems.

The properties supported by this managed object are as follows:
| Basic Properties: | Advanced Properties: |
|---|---|
| ↓ description | ↓ disk-devices |
| ↓ enabled | ↓ network-devices |
| ↓ system-utilization-monitor-log-directory |
| Description | A description for this Monitor Provider |
| Default Value | None |
| Allowed Values | A string |
| Multi-Valued | No |
| Required | No |
| Admin Action Required | None. Modification requires no further action |
| Description | Indicates whether the Host System Monitor Provider is enabled for use. |
| Default Value | false |
| Allowed Values | true false |
| Multi-Valued | No |
| Required | Yes |
| Admin Action Required | Enabling host system cpu, memory, disk and network interface I/O monitoring requires running an external collector helper process except on Linux systems.
Notes:
- Enabling the host system monitor does not require restarting the server on Linux systems.
- Enabling the host system monitor provider on UNIX (non-Linux) requires restarting the server. Changes to disk-devices and network-devices cannot be validated until the server is restarted.
- Host system monitoring is not available on Windows systems. |
system-utilization-monitor-log-directory
| Description | Specifies a relative or absolute path to the directory on the local filesystem containing the log files used by the system utilization monitor. The path must exist, and it must be a writable directory by the server process. |
| Default Value | logs |
| Allowed Values | A filesystem path |
| Multi-Valued | No |
| Required | Yes |
| Admin Action Required | None. Modification requires no further action |
disk-devices (Advanced Property)
| Description | Specifies which disk devices to monitor for I/O activity. Should be the device name as displayed by iostat -d. |
| Default Value | None |
| Allowed Values | Any valid disk device name - e.g. sda, sd1. |
| Multi-Valued | Yes |
| Required | No |
| Admin Action Required | None. Modification requires no further action |
network-devices (Advanced Property)
| Description | Specifies which network interfaces to monitor for I/O activity. Should be the device name as displayed by netstat -i. |
| Default Value | None |
| Allowed Values | Any valid network device name - e.g. eth0, en0, lo. |
| Multi-Valued | Yes |
| Required | No |
| Admin Action Required | None. Modification requires no further action |
