The

In the
Monitoring options area, check the
Automatically start monitoring check box to automatically launch
Silk Performer's monitoring facility when the test starts.
To automatically use the monitoring template that best suits the project, click the
Use default monitoring template option button.
For example, if you are creating a Web project, the template specifies the measurements that are useful for Web
load
tests.
To use a custom monitor template, click the
Use custom monitoring template option button and perform one of the following steps:
Type the name of the custom template file (.pew) that you want to use to monitor your server.
Silk Performer creates a copy of the standard monitor template.
Click the folder icon in the name field to select an existing monitoring template.
Optional: Click
Edit Custom Monitor Template to add or remove any monitoring performance data.
When you click this button,
Silk Performance Explorer opens. Perform the following steps:
Add or remove any monitoring performance data.
Save the
Silk Performance Explorer workspace to apply your changes to the template.
In the
Performance Monitor integration area, check the
Compute online performance data check box to compute data for additional performance measurements to be displayed in the Windows Performance Monitor.
You can use this data to view concurrent users, transaction throughput, sent and received data, and executed SQL statements.
Click
OK.
After you start a
load
test, server monitoring for the
load
test starts and stops automatically.
To save monitoring results for future exploration, write the server-monitoring results to a monitoring writer file: In
Performance Explorer, on the
Real-Time Monitoring tab, in the
New group, click
Monitor Writer.
