Managing Monitors with Monitor BrowserLocate this document in the navigation structure

Use

Monitor Browser is available as a predefined report inside History Reports and provides runtime control for displaying monitored data. The monitored resources and their attributes are displayed in a table.

Monitoring List

The monitoring list comprises all available monitors within your AS Java. The table provides the following monitor details:

  • Name - shows the complete monitor name and location.

  • Status - shows the current monitor's status via color thresholds.

  • State - shows the current monitor's state used, active or inactive.

  • Type - shows the monitor's type.

Color Thresholds

The list below defines the color statuses:

  • System displays OK if data is at normal level and no attention is needed.

  • System displays Warning if data values are moved to the next alert level and some problems can occur soon. Attention is needed.

  • System displays Alert if data values are moved to the error level. Special measures must be taken.

  • System displays Inactive if the monitor is a non-performance one and/or is not working. If no data is available, the monitor is not activated.

You can reconfigure the threshold values if the predefined levels are not suitable for your needs. You can also activate or deactivate monitors that are important for your scenarios.
