A systems administrator needs to create an automated alert in Windows 11 Pro that monitors system CPU utilization and automatically executes a maintenance script whenever CPU usage exceeds . Place the administrative configuration steps in Performance Monitor (`perfmon.msc`) into the correct chronological order from first to last.
- 1Launch Performance Monitor (`perfmon.msc`), right-click User Defined under Data Collector Sets, and create a new Data Collector Set manually.
- 2Select Performance Counter Alert as the data collector type, add the % Processor Time counter, and set the alert threshold limit to 90.
- 3Open the properties of the created alert collector, switch to the Alert Action tab, and specify the Task Scheduler task that runs the maintenance script.
- 4Right-click the newly configured User Defined Data Collector Set and select Start to initiate active performance monitoring.
Answer
The correct sequence starts by opening Performance Monitor and creating a manual User Defined Data Collector Set, selecting Performance Counter Alert to configure the % Processor Time counter and 90% threshold, configuring the Alert Action properties to trigger the maintenance task, and finally starting the Data Collector Set.
To build an automated alert-driven workflow in Windows Performance Monitor, an administrator must first create a User Defined Data Collector Set manually (`perfmon.msc`). Next, the collector type must be set to 'Performance Counter Alert' with the specific counter (`% Processor Time`) and threshold (`90%`). After creation, opening the alert properties allows configuring the 'Alert Action' to launch a pre-created task from Task Scheduler. Finally, the Data Collector Set must be started so Windows active monitoring begins.
