Server Metric Profile
Use Metric Profile to define the performance monitoring metrics to be collected from your servers. By selecting a profile, you control which data is collected and fine-tune server monitoring across different environments.
What is a Metric Profile?
A Metric Profile is a custom configuration that lets you select the metrics to be collected from servers associated to the profile. The server monitoring agent will collect only the metrics specified in the associated metric profile.
Metric Profiles ensure your server is monitored appropriately based on its workload and criticality.
