Dashboard containers

Containers are objects that are used to group counters according to purpose and function. Containers can also contain subcontainers and therefore form a hierarchy.

There are two types of containers: static and dynamic. Static containers are always present and always have the same name. Dynamic containers are created at run time and typically have site-specific names. For example, the Content Platform Engine creates a dynamic container that is named for each object store that is defined in the domain.

There are six generic top-level containers that are statically defined and always present for every listener.

RPC – Contains counters that are related to remote procedure calls
DISK – Contains counters that are related to disk storage.
NETWORK – Contains counters that are related to network input/output.
CPU – Contains counters that are related to Central Processing Unit activity.
USER – Contains non-RPC counters that are related to a specific listener.
Environment – Lists the Environmental and Static data that is received from this listener.
