Managing monitoring functions

The monitoring functions are set up and managed using the objects described in Table 6.

Table 6. Monitoring objects
Object name Description Function
MONACTV Monitor definitions installed in CICS® systems This object shows information about monitor definitions installed in CICS systems known to the CICSplex identified as the current context.
MONDEF Monitor definitions A monitor definition qualifies a resource type identified in a monitor specification by indicating the occurrences of the resource that are to be included in or excluded from monitoring. A monitor definition also identifies which resources are to be reported to the resource status facility when it is activated.
MONGROUP Monitor groups A monitor group is used to associate one or more related monitor definitions.
MONINGRP Monitor definitions in monitor groups This object displays the names of monitor groups, the monitor definitions associated with them, and the time period during which the monitor definitions are to be active.
MONINSPC Monitor groups in monitor specifications This object displays the names of monitor specifications and the monitor groups associated with them.
MONSCOPE Monitor specifications assigned a scope This object displays information about the CICS systems or CICS system groups that are associated with a monitor specification.
MONSPEC Monitor specifications A monitor specification identifies one or more resource types that are to be monitored by CICSPlex® SM.

The monitoring object model is shown in Figure 21.

Figure 21. The resource monitoring object model
The diagram shows the following views which are used to create and maintain resource monitoring objects: CICSSYS defines and maintains CICS systems which includes resource monitoring information. CICSGRP defines and maintains CICS system groups and displays information about them. MONSCOPE defines and maintains the association between a monitor specification and a CICS system group. MONSPEC defines and maintains monitor specifications. MONINSPC defines and maintains the association between a monitor group and a monitor specification. MONGROUP defines and maintains a monitor group. MONINGRP defines and maintains the association between a monitor definition and a monitor group. PERIODEF defines and maintains period definitions. MONDEF defines and maintains monitor definitions. All these views are described in detail in the preceding table.
