Monitoring Configurations

Use

To monitor the configuration infrastructure of AS Java, you can use the following tools:

Java Configuration Browser - displays all available configuration objects, their hierarchical tree-structure, and content.
Java System Reports - enables monitoring of the Configuration Manager operations and performance. Additionally, you can use it to reconfigure the thresholds for Configuration Manager system alerts.
Shell administration commands - commands that allow you to thoroughly monitor the behavior of the AS Java configuration infrastructure. These advanced monitoring tasks can be used to troubleshoot the system in case of problems.
