A monitor specification identifies one or more CICS® resource types that are to be monitored by CICSPlex® SM. Examples of how to use this view can be found in:
To display information about existing monitor specifications, issue the command:
MONSPEC [monspec]
where monspec is a specific or generic monitor specification name. If you omit this parameter, the view, illustrated in Figure 75, includes information about all existing monitor specifications within the current context.

Table 51 summarizes the action commands you can use with the MONSPEC view.
Primary command | Line command | Description |
---|---|---|
n/a | ADD | Add an association between a monitor specification and a scope (CICS system or CICS system group) as described in topic Adding a scope to a monitor specification. |
n/a | BRO | Browse a monitor specification in the data repository.
The format of the resulting panel is similar to that shown in Figure 76. The panel fields are not modifiable. |
CREate | CRE | Create a monitor specification and add it to the data repository, as described in topic Creating a monitor specification. |
n/a | MAP | Display a visual map of resource monitoring definitions using the designated specification as a starting point. |
n/a | REM | Remove a monitor specification from the data repository. (When a monitor specification is removed, associations with monitor groups and the CICS system or CICS system group identified as the scope are lost.) |
TEMPMP cmasid | n/a | Change the temporary maintenance point CMAS to a specific CMAS or display a selection list based on a generic CMAS ID. |
n/a | UPD | Update a monitor specification in the data repository.
The format of the resulting panel is similar to that shown in Figure 76. You may overtype the contents of any field in the panel except Monitor Spec Name. Changes to a monitor specification that is currently installed in a CICS system take effect the next time you start the CICS system. |
Table 52 shows the hyperlink field on the MONSPEC view.

Figure 76 shows the format of the panel displayed when you use the create primary (CREate) or line (CRE) action command from the MONSPEC view.

Provide the following information, as appropriate.
If the comparable field in the definition of the CICS system that will be using this specification contains YES or NO (indicating whether resource monitoring is on or off), the value you specify here will be overridden by that value. If the comparable field contains * (asterisk), the value specified in this field is used.
If you plan to use the CICSPlex SM API or an automation product to access information provided by the resource status facility, you must specify a CMAS in this field.
These types provide monitoring of the following resources:
The lower you set the sample interval, the greater the impact on both processor and teleprocessing overhead.
Press Enter to add the monitor specification to the data repository.
Associating a monitor specification with a scope causes the specification to be automatically installed when a CICS system associated with the scope is started. Any monitor definitions associated with the specification through monitor groups are also automatically installed.
However, if you associate the monitor specification with a CICS system that is already active, the new specification is not immediately available. To turn resource monitoring on, you must display the MAS view and use the UPD action command. Specify YES in the MON Active field and press Enter; resource monitoring becomes active using the new monitor specification.
Figure 77 illustrates the panel produced when you use the add (ADD) line action command from the MONSPEC view.
------------------ Add Scope for Specification for EYUPLX01 ------------------- COMMAND ===> Monitor Spec Name EYUMOS01 Description Test specification 1 Scope ===> CICS System, Group, or Generic Option ===> FORCE, NULL, or NONE for System Group Press Enter to add Monitor Specification to Scope. Type END or CANCEL to cancel without adding.
Provide the following information, as appropriate.
A CICS system or CICS system group can be associated with only one monitor specification at a time. A specification, however, can be associated with any number of CICS systems and CICS system groups.
When the CICS system group includes other CICS system groups, all of the CICS systems, including those in the subordinate CICS system groups, are affected by the value specified in this field.
Press Enter to add the designated scope to the monitor specification in the data repository.
