How it works
Hardware utilization monitoring is
enabled through the power policy or for
non-policy-based deployments, the
administrator can push out a commandline and/ or registry change to the 1E
Agent.
Once enabled, PC usage information is
collected and aggregated for fixedlength periods, for example, by hour. The
data is sent to the WebService as a batch
process once per day and is aggregated
to report tables.
Reports are generated which provide a
break-down of this data in a similar way
to the existing NightWatchman reports
- daily/ weekly/ monthly reports, queried
by date range/ location with a drill-down
to sub-locations.

The yearly and weekly report also include a break-down by sub-location showing the
average percentage of used/ unused PCs during the year/ week, the number of used
desktops and laptops and the high-water mark. The high-water mark is the highest
value seen (for used/ unused PCs) in that sub-location for any particular month/ day.
