Small settings with a big effect — from sensible thresholds to exporting for sharing.

Thresholds

Set warning thresholds realistically

A threshold set too low will keep the tile colored constantly and lose its usefulness. Observe a target's normal load range for a few minutes first before setting the warning threshold.

💡

Tip: For server processes, a threshold just above the usual peak load usually works better than one above the average.

Tile order

Most important targets at the top

Tiles can be freely reordered with up/down buttons. With many targets watched at once, it's worth placing critical processes or servers at the top so they stay visible without scrolling.

Time window

Match the time window to the purpose

A short time window works well for targeted troubleshooting in the moment, while a longer one suits observing slow trends such as gradually rising memory usage.

💡

Tip: The time window applies centrally to all tiles and can be adjusted at any time in the settings.

Remote monitoring

Use one agent for multiple targets

A single MetricsStudio.RemoteAgent on a target machine is enough to simultaneously watch multiple processes AND the entire machine — no need to install the agent more than once on the same machine.

Recording & export

Share recordings

The HTML export of a recording can be shared directly via email or chat and opened in a browser — even on machines without MetricsStudio installed.
