Operating System monitor profile

Monitoring profiles are profiles to which the monitor types (application classes) that you want to enable are associated. Each KM contains multiple monitoring profiles and help to reduce unnecessary monitoring. Each monitoring profile is associated with a group of monitor types. The monitor types that belong to a profile are pre-determined. You cannot add or remove monitor types from a profile. 

The Operating System profile monitors the Windows Operating System.

The following table provides a list of monitor types that you can monitor with this monitor profile.
