Monitor Browser 

Use

Monitor Browser is available as a predefined report inside JSR and provides runtime control for displaying monitored data. The monitored resources and their attributes display in a tree view in the Monitoring Tree pane of Monitor Browser.

When you choose a monitor from the tree, general information and the monitored data displays.

 

Features

Monitoring Tree

The monitoring tree comprises nodes and monitors. A node can be of two types: Summary and Object. Summary and Object nodes do not provide information but are used to group monitors. A monitor is a leaf in the monitoring tree.

The monitoring tree comprises the following Summary nodes:

●      Applications

Reports information about the state of the Java applications running on the selected system that have implemented the monitoring functionality.

●      Kernel

Reports information about the state of the J2EE Engine managers registered for monitoring.

●      Performance

Reports J2EE Engine performance measurements.

●      Services

Reports information about the state J2EE Engine services registered for monitoring.

●      System

Displays information about the system properties.

Color Changing Thresholds

Monitor Browser provides alert monitoring. Depending on the defined thresholds, the performance monitors icons acquire a color signaling status. The table below outlines the color statuses and their meaning.

Color Statuses Description

Icon Color	Description
	Data is at the normal level (OK). No attention is needed.
	A warning point. Shows that the values have moved to the next alert level and some problems may occur soon. Some attention is needed.
	An error point. The data values have moved to the error level. Special measures must be taken.
	This icon has two meanings. The first one is to indicate that the monitor is a non-performance one. The second is to show that the monitor is not working. If the monitor is a performance monitor and it is marked with this icon, it is not working. If it is a non-performance monitor, it always has this icon, therefore you have to check whether the particular monitor contains data. If there is no data, the monitor is not working.

When a monitor reaches its defined values of each threshold, the icon for the monitor changes. The color of the monitor’s parent nodes changes accordingly, too. For example, if a resource reaches a critical value and its icon is changed to red, all its parent nodes also change their icons to red.

For more information about how to proceed if a monitor’s status is red, see Monitoring Quick Guide.

Detailed Monitor Data

The Details pane displays data about a selected node or monitor in the monitoring tree.
