Appendix B: Monitoring ExtremeZ-IP

ExtremeZ-IP allows administrators and Acronis’ support staff to “look inside” ExtremeZ-IP to watch the load on the server, detect problems with shares and print queues, and diagnose performance bottlenecks. ExtremeZ-IP supports counters for Windows Performance Monitor, Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM), and other instrumentation platforms that support Windows Management Interface (WMI), Microsoft’s generic interface for monitoring applications in production. WMI-aware applications alert administrators to errors and help diagnose problems.

Most of the counters provided in ExtremeZ-IP are global for the ExtremeZ-IP instance or the server. For some of the users and volume counters, however, an administrator can choose to view a single instance. For example, “instance” could be the number of bytes per second for an individual user.

ExtremeZ-IP performance counters are compatible with both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows 2003 Server, Windows
Server 2008, Windows XP, and Windows Vista.
