Monitor types and attributes

The following table lists the Monitor types/Application classes in PATROL for VMware vSphere.

Reference information

The attribute information is also available in downloadable format in the Parameter Reference Database (PRD).

The PRD contains reports of the parameters available from the KMs and solutions in the extensive Knowledge Module (KM) library.

You can access these reports in CSV, PDF, or HTML format.
