When you install the IBM Tivoli Monitoring: i5/OS Agent product, you will receive a collection of predefined workspaces. The predefined workspaces display data collected on an interval basis.
Using the predefined workspaces of IBM Tivoli Monitoring: i5/OS Agent you can:
monitor system and resource usage and availability
determine what and when you want to monitor using situations
locate problems that may affect system availability
prevent problems that result from overuse of certain system resources
view messages that provide useful information and that might require a response
In most cases, a predefined workspace has an attribute group that contains attributes similar to the columns in the predefined workspace. You can use these values to build your own workspaces and to create your own situations.
