Memory Monitor tool

The Memory Monitor tool in ETS for the Web analyzes memory utilization in real time, providing the results in a tabular form.

It shows the current memory utilization alongside the total memory available.

Access the Memory Monitor

  1. Log in to the SolarWinds Platform Web Console as an administrator.

  2. Click My Dashboards > Toolset > All Tools.

  3. Under My Tools, click Memory Monitor.

You can also launch the Memory Monitor from the object menu of SolarWinds Platform nodes or from the Management resource on the node details view.

Monitor memory usage on your devices

  1. On the Configure Memory Monitor page, find the nodes whose memory items you want to monitor.

  2. Click the + in front of the node to display the available memory items within the node.

    To discover the memory items in one or more nodes, select the nodes and click Discover All Memory Items.

  3. Select the memory items you want to monitor.

    You can monitor as many resources as your other SolarWinds Platform product licenses can, and additional ten resources from the ETS for the Web license.

  4. From the View Type menu, choose to view the results as a table or a chart.

  5. Click Monitor Items.

  6. Customize the presentation of results. For more information, see Configure charts shown in ETS for the Web tools.

    • Chart or table

      If the results are displayed in a table, and you want to see them in a chart, toggle the display mode to Chart. Use the View buttons in the upper-right corner of the page to toggle the presentation of monitoring data.

    • Metrics

      Select what statistics you want to view in the chart in the Metrics area.

      If the required metrics are not available, you need to add them first. Click Settings > Metrics, and make sure all metrics are in the Available Metrics area.

      For more information about settings, see Specify tool-specific settings.

    • Thresholds

      If you want the chart to display a threshold, select the threshold in the Show thresholds list.

      If the threshold is not available in the list, you need to define it first. Click Settings > Thresholds, select the metric and define the warning and error levels.

    Editing the monitor settings resets the monitored data and deletes all data collected so far. After you return to the monitor, you must define the monitored objects again, and the monitoring will restart.
