Activating and Deactivating Monitors
Use
Inactive monitors have no history and do not pool data from the monitored resources automatically. These monitors can retrieve information only on demand.
Deactivation of unused monitors minimizes the impact of the monitoring service on the CPU and memory consumption. It also reduces the monitoring history by not storing history for monitors that are rarely used.
Prerequisites
You have opened the Monitor Browser application.
