Logging

Logging enables you to store data regarding the attributes of a resource. A local database stores the data and can be accessed using the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Web Health Console. For more information, see the IBM Tivoli Monitoring User's Guide.

Note:
You can specify what and how to log within IBM Tivoli Monitoring Resource Model Builder. However, by default, logging is disabled in the IBM Tivoli Monitoring profile. You must enable logging in the IBM Tivoli Monitoring profile in order to log information.

The logging function contains the following elements:

Context
A general problem to which the resource activity relates, such as disk space.
Resource
The state of the resource that you want to log, in relation to the defined context, such as a logical disk. A single context can contain more than one resource.
Properties
Specific attributes of the defined resource, such as free space on the logical disk. For each resource, you can specify multiple properties, which can be both numeric and string values. For the specified properties, you must define key properties that clearly identify the instance of a resource.

The database browser in the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Web Health Console shows historical (logged) data for a specific resource model on an endpoint. With logged data, you can identify specific resource problems over the past 6, 12, or 24 hours.

For more information, see the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Web Health Console documentation in the IBM Tivoli Monitoring User's Guide.
