An Operations Console Web Monitor administrator’s activities include postinstallation configuration, performance analysis, and maintenance. A summary of these tasks appears below.
Task |
Description |
|---|---|
Define the agent plug-ins and services you want to monitor |
Agent plug-ins monitor and report on specific system activities. Defining an agent initializes a listener that intercepts all messages broadcast by that agent. See “Agents” for more information. |
Configure optional components and services |
Although most configuration properties are set during installation, you may want to update some properties to reflect your environment. For example, properties for the primary cache server are always set during installation; properties for a secondary cache server must be configured manually. See “Configuration Properties” for more information. |
Identify the monitoring properties of specific agents |
Defining an agent initializes a listener that intercepts all messages broadcast by that agent. A monitoring property represents a single thread of all messages broadcast by that agent. See “Monitoring Properties” for more information. |
Create panels that contain views of system operations |
A panel contains all the monitoring properties that define a view. For example, you may want to add a panel that contains all elements required to alert an operator when a batch file delivery occurs. See “Panels” for more information. |
Associate operators with specific agents and panels |
An operator can be a user, group or class of users. You can configure Web Monitor to notify specific operators about system conditions. See “Operators” for more information. |
Define exceptions and alerts about critical system conditions |
When an event occurs outside of normal operating parameters, Web Monitor generates an exception and notifies an operator that something unexpected happened. See “System Exceptions” for more information. |
Monitor operations and services |
Console panel provides a current system snapshot. See “Console” for more information. |
Debug problems with Web Monitor |
Web Monitor stores debugging information in the rap_opsconsole.log. All log entries are based on settings in the log4j.properties file. See “Debugging” for more information. |
