Active Directory Overview (PI_AD)

Function

The Active Directory Overview (PI_AD) record stores the performance data per unit time on Active Directory, which is a directory service. For Active Directory monitoring examples, see 3.1.7 Active Directory monitoring examples.

Note:
In an environment in which Active Directory is not available, a warning message is issued and the Active Directory Overview (PI_AD) record cannot be acquired. For details about how to install Active Directory, see Installing Active Directory.

Default values and values that can be specified

ItemDefault valueModifiable
Collection Interval60Yes
Collection Offset#0Yes
LogNoYes
LOGIFBlankYes
#
A value between 0 and 32,767 seconds can be specified (a value within the range specified for Collection Interval). Use this item to distribute the collection load, because executing data collection all at once results in concentration of the processing workload. Note that the data collection duration to be recorded is the same as the Collection Interval, regardless of the value specified for Collection Offset.

ODBC key fields

None

Lifetime

From the time the Active Directory service is started until it terminates.
