When you install the IBM Tivoli Monitoring: i5/OS Agent, 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 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.
The illustration shows the organization of the predefined workspaces
provided with IBM Tivoli Monitoring: i5/OS Agent. The indicates
that you can access additional workspace using the View menu or that you
can link to details using the Link To command. For example, you can use
the Navigator to select Communications and then select View
menu > Workspace command >
X25 command.

In most cases, a workspace contains data or columns that have similar attributes in an attribute group. The table shows the relationships between the predefined workspaces and the attribute groups. (The workspaces are listed in alphabetical order.)
