Server context is required by infrastructure monitors to obtain relevant server parameters for monitoring. In
Performance Manager, server context consists of IP address, host name, monitor settings, UNIX settings, and login credentials for SNMP, RPC,
and Perfmon. Each of these parameters is required by the performance data collection engine. Server names don't need to be
hard coded into scripts, they can be parameterized. All required server-context parameters are automatically imported into
Performance Manager along with
Silk Performer projects that are uploaded by
Silk Performance Explorer. See
Requirements for Monitoring Windows Machines and the
Silk Performance Explorer Help for detailed information about setting up real-time monitoring.
