Using the Monitoring Project in Performance Explorer

Start Performance Explorer. On the Real-Time Monitoring tab, in the Monitor group, click System. Choose Select from predefined Data Sources.

Select the newly created monitoring project and click Next.

Enter the name of the server that is to be monitored. For example, enter sunserver and click Next. A dialog box appears. Define the following attributes:

command: As with the basic test case you set up earlier in this tutorial, a command that counts the number of processes.
user: A valid user account for accessing the remote machine.
password: The password.
URI1: The URI where response time is to be measured.
URI2: A second URI where response time is to be measured.

Select the measures (in this case there is only one) and click OK. The measures are immediately handed over to the data collection mechanism. The choice corresponds to the hierarchy defined in the project attributes.
