Types of Monitors and Their Usage

In the AS Java monitoring framework there are two types of monitors - performance monitors and non-performance monitors:

• The performance monitors have history (except the availability and quality-rare monitors) and alerting mechanisms, which includes thresholds (used to compare the actual monitored value with a predefined value and according to the result, to map a color to the monitor and create alerts).

  The performance monitors are:

  • availability monitor
  • integer monitor
  • long monitor
  • frequency monitor
  • quality-rate monitor
  • duration monitor
• The non-performance monitors do not have history and apart from the state monitor, no alert mechanisms.

  The non-performance monitors are:

  • text monitor
  • state monitor
  • table monitor
  • version monitor
  • configuration monitor
