|
|
<ol><li><span>In <span class="keyword">iSeries Navigator</span>, expand

Management Central, select <span class="uicontrol">Monitors</span>, right-click <span class="uicontrol">System</span>,
|
|
and then select <span class="uicontrol">New Monitor</span>.</span></li>
|
|
<li><span>Specify a monitor name. From the <span class="uicontrol">New Monitor-General</span> page
|
|
specify a name for your monitor. Provide a brief description so you can find
|
|
the monitor in a list of monitors.</span></li>
|
|
<li><span>Select metrics. Use the <span class="uicontrol">New Monitor-Metrics</span> page
|
|
to select your metrics. You can monitor any number of metrics on any number
|
|
of endpoint systems or system groups.</span></li>
|
|
<li><span>View and change your metric information. Use the <span class="uicontrol">New
|
|
Monitor-Metrics</span> page to edit the properties for each metric. You
|
|
can edit the collection interval, maximum graphing value, and display time
|
|
for each metric you select.</span></li>
|
|
<li><span>Set threshold commands. Use the <span class="uicontrol">Thresholds</span> tab
|
|
on the <span class="uicontrol">Metrics</span> page to enable thresholds and specify
|
|
commands to run on the endpoint system whenever thresholds are triggered or
|
|
reset.</span></li>
|
|
<li><span>Set threshold actions. Use the <span class="uicontrol">New Monitor-Actions</span> page
|
|
to specify the actions you want to occur when a metric threshold is triggered
|
|
or reset.</span></li>
|
|
<li><span>Select your systems and groups. Use the <span class="uicontrol">New Monitor-Systems
|
|
and Groups</span> page to select the endpoint systems or system groups
|
|
where you want to start a monitor.</span></li>
