Administration

PerformanceGuard is very flexible. You can set up many different types of performance monitoring.

Let's begin with the fundamental things, and then you can always set up any remaining performance monitoring features you require later.

You're very likely to need at least the following:

• Users who can access the PerformanceGuard web interface, because that's where you set up PerformanceGuard.
• Agent configurations so that your PerformanceGuard agents know which performance data to collect.

• Dashboards so that you can view related performance information together.

• Thresholds so that you can determine when performance goes from acceptable to unacceptable.

• Application definitions so that you can monitor how your organization's business-critical applications, including web-based activities, perform.
• Reports so that you can share performance information with stakeholders across your organization.

So, PerformanceGuard has taken care of most of the fundamental setup, but it's a good idea to take a look at the fundamental features anyway, in case you want to add or adjust something.

PerformanceGuard can help you monitor much more than just the fundamentals, but it's your organization's exact needs that determine whether you want to monitor web activity, cloud services, Citrix sessions, network latency or other things. Use the search feature or the table of contents to find the exact type of performance monitoring that you want to know more about.
