Summary
System Monitor Communication Driver gets information about the local system, like processor, memory, hard disk and network information. When running a distributed application, the metrics will refer to the server computer. Using the Channel remote execution, you can get information from other computers running the application.

Primary Station
<<<< contents from DOCX >>>>
Points Configuration
The syntax for the Ping address points is: <Property>
Where:
- <Property>: can be one of the following:
Operand | Description |
|---|---|
Processor | Percentage is being used |
MemoryAvailable | Total of memory available (including virtual memory) in kilobytes |
MemoryInUse | Total of memory is being used (including virtual memory) in kilobytes |
MemoryTotal | Total of memory (including virtual memory) in kilobytes |
MemoryPhysicalAvailable | Total of physical memory available in kilobytes |
MemoryPhysicalInUse | Total of physical memory is being used in kilobytes |
MemoryPhysicalTotal | Total of physical memory in kilobytes |
HDWriteBytesPerSecond | Bytes per seconds are being written in the Hard Disk |
HDReadBytesPerSecond | Bytes per seconds are being read in the Hard Disk |
NetDataReceivedBytesPerSecond | Bytes per seconds are being received through the network |
NetDataSentBytesPerSecond | Bytes per seconds are being sent through the network |
You can map each property to a Tag in the application, or you can defined only one line on Edit → Device → Points, mapping the entire data structure to a Template tag. In order to use template tags:
- Create a Tag Template “SystemMonitor”, using as Member names the properties names.
- Create a tag from the Template “SystemMonitor”
- On Edit → Devices → Points, put your tag at the TagName column, and select the address SystemMonitor and the address field. The system will automatically get all the members of the template when running the application.
Troubleshoot
The most common error is related to the Windows cache of the performance counter. To recover the system, execute the following commands at the Command prompt, running the prompt as Administrador:
C:\windows\system32> lodctr /r
If you still have the error: Error: Unable to rebuild performance counter setting from system backup store, error code is 2
Then, you should run:
C:\windows\SysWOW64> lodctr /r
The expected rmessage is:
Info: Successfully rebuilt performance counter setting from system backup store
