  1. Insert the script as a new script in Administrator Console<\/li>\n
  2. Create a event rule that run the script every X minute<\/li>\n
  3. Commit configuration change and wait until the script has run<\/li>\n
  4. Open Operator Console, click performance, click you server and choose your new FILE performance objects, click draw graph<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
