Types of Monitors and Their Usage 

Use

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
