Attributes

Attributes are characteristics or properties of the logical and physical objects monitored by OMEGAMON XE on z/OS (for example, the amount of allocated virtual storage). Related attributes are organized into groups (which are referred to as tables in the context of historical data collection). These attributes are used to define the queries that collect the information displayed in tables and charts in the OMEGAMON XE on z/OS workspaces and to create situations that trigger alerts and automated actions in response to specified conditions.

You can see an overview of an attribute group, or get detailed information about a specific attribute, by selecting its name under Attributes, in the IBM OMEGAMON XE on z/OS section of the Contents tab. In the listing on the Contents tab, attribute groups are divided into two types, system and sysplex, corresponding to the two levels of OMEGAMON XE on z/OS nodes in the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server Navigator.
