Defining resource monitoring attributes

When you define the attributes of resource monitoring, you are telling CICSPlex® SM exactly which occurrences of one or more resource types are to be monitored and when this monitoring is to occur. The resource monitoring attributes are based on information provided in monitor specifications, monitor definitions, and, optionally, monitor groups.

Note:
A monitor definition can be installed in variety of CICSPlex SM managed CICS systems. However, not all resource types are supported in all of those systems. Therefore, CICSPlex SM verifies that the resource to be monitored is supported in the target system prior to installing the definition. If it is not, CICSPlex SM issues a message indicating the definition cannot be installed because the resource is not supported. This message is informative in nature and does not require any corrective action.

Figure 54 illustrates the attributes of resource monitoring. In this example:

Figure 54. An example of resource monitoring attributes
 This figure shows a diagram of a data repository containing the following resource monitoring attributes: the monitor specification which defines resources to be monitored and sampling intervals and is associated with one or more CICS systems or system groups, the monitor group which contains one or more monitor definitions and the monitor definition which qualifies a resource type identified in a monitor specification and is associated with a monitor group. The relationships between them are described in the preceding text.
