Using the System Monitor

[Downloaded from www.kyzo.com]

An optional Win32 utility program called 'SysStat.exe' can be downloaded from the Server website at http://www.kyzo.com.  Being a Win32 application it can only run under Windows-9x, Windows-NT and Windows-2000. We currently have no plans to produce a Win16 version of this application. The program installs itself automatically the first time you run it and creates a file called "NiNstats.ini" in your Windows directory. To start the program taking readings you need to tell it to connect to the Server. This is the first option of the "File" menu.

As the program runs, it displays a window with three bar graphs and an area graph. The bars are labeled "User", "System" and "Idle", and represent the percentage of time the CPU on the Server is spending in each of these three states averaged over the last few seconds. If you click on the labels, you can change the colour of the bars. The time over which the bar graphs are averaged can be changed by opening the "Control Data" window.

The Area graph also displays a scrolling history of the data that is being displayed in the bar graphs.
