Should the security settings of a monitored machine change?

Hi All

I need to monitor 10 Windows servers.
I have the ports configured.

I have one Windows monitoring service running in the same network.

However there is the issue of "Performance Monitoring Group" (PMG) arises.

I know that the user running the monitoring service should be added to the PMG.

However should there be a change to the security settings of each of the 10 servers? i.e log on as a service.

Answer or documentation would help.

Thanks

This settings concerns any Windows server that you would like to monitor.

Sometimes it's easier to follow the procedure described here so you can choose a specific account that could have access to all your Windows server in case you can't modify the Performance Monitoring Group for some of them.
