Attributes Monitor
Open your Powers window (P by default, unless you rebound the P key to something else, or Menu -> Powers). At the top of the window, it will say Combat Monitor (or Combat Attributes. I forget which).
That will bring up the interface that will let you select up to 10 items to monitor by right-clicking and selecting Monitor.

Ohh... you beat me to it!!!
Well, its the text on the heading of the Powers Window.
It will open a lot of data, and you can chose the ones to display. I think you can select up to 9 items (someone correct me if it was changed).
My normal setup is:
1) Current HP
2) Current Endurance (or Stamina, brain is fuzzy right now - wine)
3) Endurance Comsumption
4) Endurance Regeneration
5) Influence
The last options I change according to the toon... Common choices are:
a) XP to next level (except on 50´s)
b) Damage Bonus
c) Endurance Bonus
d) Recharge Rate Bonus
e) Flying Speed
f) Running Speed
g) Last To-Hit
h) Defense/Resist values (normally on Tankers/Scrappers/Widow)
i) Threat Level

I have a popmenu I created that lets me set up my Monitor, as well as load my Windows, Options, and Chat based on Hero/Villain Faction, and then load the binds file I pre-created for the character. I always monitor the same 10 items from 1-49:
1) Current Hit Points
2) Current Endurance
3) Regeneration Rate
4) Recovery Rate
5) Endurance Consumption
6) Damage Bonus
7) Recharge Time Bonus
8) Experience To Next Level
9) Inf(luence/famy)
10) Experience Debt
Once I hit 50, I replace Experience To Next Level with ToHit Bonus.
Also: Memphis Bill makes some great guides. I'd recommend anyone interested in the ones he offers to look them over. ;thumbsup

Not particularly useful to monitor, IMO. It's actually Threat multiplier, not your actual Threat level (since Threat is on a per-critter basis). You have an inherent Threat multiplier, and there is very little that alters your multiplier; Super Speed, Superior Invisibility, Group Invisibility, Invisibility, and Phase Shift are all I can think of, each reducing the multiplier by 1.0.

Well, I use this only on toons that rely on "stealth"... specially stalkers, widows and banes. It updates faster than waiting to see the hidden status appear.

Edit: And hold on, Cloaking Device, Mask Presence, and Hide don't reduce your Threat multiplier, anyway.

Until this thread I never thought of monitoring my current HP. That's a great idea.
I typically only monitor the things that aren't already monitored by the normal UI. On all characters, I monitor Last Hit Chance and Inf. What else I monitor depends on the character. Like Stealth Radius on my characters that use Stealth powers to see when it's suppressed (except for Stalkers. Those I just look for the "Hidden" indicator), and Damage Resistance on my MA/SR Scrapper to see how much scaling resistance I'm getting from the passives.
On any character with an IO that has a buff proc, I'll monitor the attribute it buffs. Like on my main, In addition to the Numina's Convalescence Regen/Recov in Health, I've got a Miracle +Recovery in Dark Regeneration (the rest is Touch of the Nictus) and I monitor Recovery to see when that wears off. I never really understood why some procs get an icon in the buff section of the window when they're active, but others don't.

How do you open the Combat/Attributes Monitor?
I've been searching paragonwiki & the forums and found several articles/threads on how to load different attributes into the window, but nothing on how to, say...open the window if you accidentally closed it when setting up the UI.
