Monitor Resource Definition

The monitor resource templates you use when you define monitor resources provide sufficient information for you to monitor the resources used by your regions; however, you can customize the defined monitor resources to suit your special requirements.

The supplied templates ensure that your file transfer resources are monitored correctly.

The monitor resource definition comprises the following panels:

General Description

Specifies general information about the resource, for example, the operation mode.

Monitor Details

Specifies monitoring criteria pertinent to the monitor type, for example, the idle time of a TCP/IP connection.

Resource Monitor Message Details

Specifies rules that react to unsolicited messages. Do not change those rules specified by the template.

State Change Exits

Specifies exit processes that are executed as the result of a resource state change. Do not change the information specified by the template. You can add exits, for example, a CA SOLVE:Central exit.

Automation Log Details

Customizes log attributes such as the size of the transient log, where messages are logged, and what messages are logged.

Owner Details

Specifies particulars of the person responsible for the resource.
