The MonitorMagic performance counter monitor is used to check the value and contents of performance counters. MonitorMagic uses a performance counter monitor for each performance counter. MonitorMagic supports all performance counters, including the counters that are part of the operating system, but also the counters that are installed by other applications.
Example: MonitorMagic can be configured to detect if a processor is using over 99% CPU utilization for a specific time period. This allows a network administrator to be alerted when a Windows 2003, 2000 or NT server CPU utilization spikes for a specific time period.
