Viewing monitor results

 

When you have specified when to apply the thresholds and actions you have defined for your monitor, you are ready to view your monitor results.

Double-click the monitor name to open the Monitor window. In the Monitor window, you can see the overall status of the monitor and a list of the target systems that the monitor is running on.

For job, message and file monitors, a list of the target systems (Summary Area) in the upper pane shows the status of the monitor on each system and the date and time that the monitor data was last collected. The Summary Area also shows additional information related to the specific metrics being collected.

After you select a system, detailed information about what is being monitored on that system is shown in the lower pane. For example, if you are viewing a Job Monitor window, the list of jobs in the lower pane shows the triggered events, the last event that occurred, and the actual values for the specified metrics.

You can select Columns from the Options menu to display additional columns of information. Click Help on the Columns window to see a description of each column.

From the list in the lower pane, you can right-click any item and select from a menu of actions that can be performed. For example, if you select a job, you can select reset triggered events, display job properties, hold, release, or end a job.

For system monitors, detailed information displays as graphs that you can save and print.

You can view all your monitors, as well as all your iSeries™ Navigator systems management tasks, remotely with iSeries Navigator for Wireless.
