You can easily monitor the status of your environment.
With the operational summaries, you can identify where applications,
servers, or autonomic managers are running in your environment, the
health of your environment, and if your environment is performing
to your service-level agreements.
Procedure
- Use reports and charting to monitor
the performance of your environment. See Creating and managing reports
for more information.
Use the dashboard to view a high level
summary of your operational environment. To access the
dashboard, click . By default, the dashboard
displays the summary charts for your environment. To configure the
data that displays in the dashboard, update the Dashboard preferences.
- Use the visualization data service to
save operational data to text files that you can reuse with other
charting programs. Historic data is logged in comma-separated
values with time stamps in standard long value from the java.util.Date
class. See Configuring the visualization data service
for more
information.
- To monitor autonomic management events
that occur when you are in automatic or supervised mode, use task
management. See Managing runtime tasks
for
more information.
What to do next
To troubleshoot unexpected behavior, read about troubleshooting
extended administration.
Set custom properties
to modify the runtime operations reports. For example, you can limit
what cell information is displayed, specify how many data sets are
displayed in summary charts, or specify how many milliseconds of statistics
are used to calculate the top number of data sets to display in the
summary charts.
