|
<div><p>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
|
||
|
|
Monitor</span>.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>After you have given your new monitor a name, the next step is to specify
|
||
|
|
what you want to monitor. If you are creating a job monitor, you will select
|
||
|
|
which jobs you want to monitor. Be careful to monitor the smallest number
|
||
|
|
of jobs that will give you the information you need. Monitoring a large number
|
||
|
|
of jobs may have a performance impact on your system. </p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="p">You can specify the jobs to monitor in these ways:<dl><dt class="dlterm">Jobs to monitor</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>You can specify jobs by their job name, job user, job type and subsystem.
|
||
|
|
When specifying job name, job user and subsystem, you can use an asterisk
|
||
|
|
(*) as a wildcard to represent one or more characters.</dd>
|
||
|
|
<dt class="dlterm">Servers to monitor</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>You can specify jobs by their server names. Select from the list of <span class="uicontrol">Available
|
||
|
|
servers</span> on the <span class="uicontrol">Servers to monitor</span> tab.
|
||
|
|
You can also specify a custom server by clicking the <span class="uicontrol">Add custom
|
||
|
|
server</span> button on the New Monitor or Monitor Properties - General
|
||
|
|
page under the <span class="uicontrol">Servers to monitor</span> tab. To create a
|
||
|
|
custom server, use the Change Job (QWTCHGJB) API</dd>
|
||
|
|
</dl>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
<p>When multiple job selection criteria are specified, all jobs matching any
|
||
|
|
of the criteria are monitored.</p>

<p>For more information about these

<li class="olchildlink"><a href="rzaihjobmonmetrics.htm">Select the metrics</a><br />
|
||
|
|
For each type of monitor, Management Central offers several measurements,
|
||
|
|
known as <dfn class="term">metrics</dfn>, to help you pinpoint different aspects of system
|
||
|
|
activity. A metric is a measurement of a particular characteristic of a system
|
||
|
|
resource or the performance of a program or a system.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="olchildlink"><a href="rzaihjobmonthreshold.htm">Specify the threshold values</a><br />
|
||
|
|
Setting a threshold for a metric that is being collected by a monitor
|
||
|
|
allows you to be notified and, optionally, to specify actions to be taken
|
||
|
|
when a certain value (called the <dfn class="term">trigger value</dfn>) is reached. You
|
||
|
|
can also specify actions to be taken when a second value (called the <dfn class="term">reset
|
||
|
|
value</dfn>) is reached.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="olchildlink"><a href="rzaihjobmoncollectitv.htm">Specify the collection interval</a><br />
|
||
|
|
When you are setting thresholds for the metrics you have selected to monitor, you should consider how often you want the data to be collected.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="olchildlink"><a href="rzaihjobmoncommand.htm">Specify threshold run commands</a><br />
|
||
|
|
A <dfn class="term">threshold</dfn> is a setting for a metric that is being
|
||
|
|
collected by a monitor. <dfn class="term">Threshold commands</dfn> run automatically
|
||
|
|
on your endpoint system when threshold events occur. Threshold commands are
|
||
|
|
different from any threshold actions you may have set. Threshold actions happen
|
||
|
|
on your PC or central system, while threshold commands run on your endpoint
|
||
|
|
systems.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="olchildlink"><a href="rzaihjobmonevents.htm">Specify event logging and actions</a><br />
|
||
|
|
When you have specified the threshold values for your monitor,
|
||
|
|
you can click the <span class="uicontrol">Actions</span> tab to select event logging
|
||
|
|
and the PC actions to be taken when a threshold is triggered or reset.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="olchildlink"><a href="rzaihjobmonapplyactions.htm">Apply thresholds and actions for a monitor</a><br />
|
||
|
|
When you have specified your threshold values and chosen to log events, you can select whether to always apply these thresholds and actions, or to apply them only on the days and times you choose.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="olchildlink"><a href="rzaihjobmonview.htm">View monitor results</a><br />
|
||
|
|
When you have specified when to apply the thresholds and actions you have defined for your monitor, you are ready to view your monitor results.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="olchildlink"><a href="rzaihjobmonreset.htm">Reset triggered threshold for a monitor</a><br />
|
||
|
|
When you are viewing the job monitor results, you can reset a triggered threshold.</li>

<li class="olchildlink"><a href="rzahxmonexample.htm">Scenarios: iSeries Navigator monitors</a><br />
