<div><p>Monitors display current information about the performance of your
|
||
|
|
systems. Additionally, you can use them to carry out predefined actions when
|
||
|
|
a specific event occurs. You can use the system, message, job, file, and B2B
|
||
|
|
transaction monitors to display and monitor information about your systems.
|
||
|
|
The system and job monitors use the performance data collected by Collection
|
||
|
|
Services.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><p>The monitors included in <span class="keyword">iSeries™ Navigator</span> use
|
||
|
|
Collection Services data to track the elements of system performance of specific
|
||
|
|
interest to you. Moreover, they can take specified actions when certain events,
|
||
|
|
such as the percentage of CPU utilization or the status of a job, occur. You
|
||
|
|
can use monitors to see and manage system performance as it happens across
|
||
|
|
multiple systems and groups of systems.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>With the monitors, you can start
|
||
|
|
a monitor, and then turn to other tasks on your server, in <span class="keyword">iSeries Navigator</span>,
|
||
|
|
or on your PC. In fact, you could even turn your PC off. <span class="keyword">iSeries Navigator</span> continues
|
||
|
|
monitoring and performing any threshold commands or actions you specified.
|
||
|
|
Your monitor runs until you stop it. You can also use monitors to manage performance
|
||
|
|
remotely by accessing them with <span class="keyword">iSeries Navigator</span> for
|
||
|
|
Wireless.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><span class="keyword">iSeries Navigator</span> provides
|
||
|
|
the following types of monitors:</p>
|
||
|
|
<dl><dt class="dlterm">System monitor</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>Collect and display performance data as it happens or up to 1 hour. Detailed
|
||
|
|
graphs help you visualize what is going on with your servers as it happens.
|
||
|
|
Choose from a variety of metrics (performance measurements) to pinpoint specific
|
||
|
|
aspects of system performance. For example, if you are monitoring the average
|
||
|
|
CPU utilization on your server, you can click any collection point on the
|
||
|
|
graph to see a details chart that shows the 20 jobs with the highest CPU utilization.
|
||
|
|
Then, you can right-click any of these jobs to work directly with the job.</dd>
|
||
|
|
<dt class="dlterm">Job monitor</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>Monitor a job or a list of jobs based on job name, job user, job type,
|
||
|
|
subsystem, or server type. Choose from a variety of metrics to monitor the
|
||
|
|
performance, status, or error messages for a job. To work directly with a
|
||
|
|
job, just right-click the job from the list that is shown in the Job Monitor
|
||
|
|
window.</dd>
|
||
|
|
<dt class="dlterm">Message monitor</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>Find out whether your application completes successfully or monitor for
|
||
|
|
specific messages that are critical to your business needs. From the Message
|
||
|
|
Monitor window, you can see the details of a message, reply to a message,
|
||
|
|
send a message, and delete a message.</dd>
|
||
|
|
<dt class="dlterm">B2B activity monitor</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>If you have an application like Connect for <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> configured,
|
||
|
|
you can use a B2B activity monitor to monitor your B2B transactions. You can
|
||
|
|
view a graph of active transactions over time, and you can run commands automatically
|
||
|
|
when thresholds are triggered. You can search for and display a specific transaction
|
||
|
|
as well as view a bar graph of the detailed steps of that specific transaction.</dd>
|
||
|
|
<dt class="dlterm">File monitor</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd> Monitor one or more selected files for a specified text string, for a
|
||
|
|
specified size, or for any modification to the file.</dd>
|
||

Creating a new monitor is a quick and easy process that begins
|
||
|
|
at the New Monitor window. In iSeries Navigator, expand Management
|
||
|
|
Central, expand <span class="uicontrol">Monitors</span>, right-click the type of monitor
|

|
|
you want to create (for example, <span class="uicontrol">Job</span>), and then click <span class="uicontrol">New
