Monitors Guide
This monitor is dedicated to the surveillance of the dispatcher queues. It can monitor the number of requests waiting in the queues at a given time, and the number of requests written within a given period of time.
Use the surveillance table to create monitoring rule for each type of queue, and set the threshold for the maximum number of requests to watch for a given queue. If you set a period to a value different than 0, the threshold will be used to compare against the number of requests received within the period, instead of the total number of waiting requests
