Foroohar Rafiei, SAP, Strategic Customer Engagement, provided this as an ASUG Webcast earlier this month. Below are my rough notes.
BI4.1 has undergone improvements

How server is functioning
Key metrics are by concurrent users
See a server metric that show processed on Crystal
Average time was 2.2 seconds shown in Figure 1
Figure 2: Source: SAP
Figure 2 shows a derived metric – a user defined formula that includes one or more other metrics
Create metrics to combine other more complex ones
How much memory is being used by operating system
Subtracting free from physical to see memory used on host
Can do the same for Number sessions

Figure 4 shows that out of box, you do not have access to host metrics – go SMP – download it – instructors in BI admin guide
Figure 5: Source: SAP
Accumulated health of service category or server group – keep an eye on server group

Figure 6 shows the main page of the monitoring
