Activating resource monitoring

For resource monitoring to occur for a particular CICS® system, you must:

    Start of change
  1. Associate a monitor specification with the CICS system, using the Monitor specifications view. To open this view from the WUI main menu, click Administration views-->Monitor administration views-->Monitor specifications. Alternatively you can use the EUI MONSPEC view, as described in topic Adding a scope to a monitor specification.
  2. Activate resource monitoring for the CICS system. There are two ways you can do this:
  3. Set the resource sample interval greater than 0. (The sample interval can be set from the associated monitor specification or from the CICS system definition.)
  4. End of change

Monitor definitions that are associated with a monitor specification via monitor groups are automatically installed when that CICS system starts. As long as the CICS system remains active, additional monitor definitions can be manually installed in the CICS system.

Installed monitor definitions become active:

Start of changeMonitor definitions remain active as long as the CICS system is running, until you discard them, or until the end of the time designated by the period definition is reached. To determine the current status of installed monitor definitions, you can use the Active monitor specifications WUI view (click Monitoring views-->Active monitor specifications or the EUI MONACTV view, as indicated in Table 5.End of change

Once resource monitoring is active, any changes you make to monitor definitions are noted in the data repository. To apply these changes to an active CICS system, you must manually install or discard the definitions.
