3.1 Monitoring by using the Agents tree

You can monitor the status of agent operations in the Agents window of PFM - Web Console. The Agents tree window displays in a tree format the connection between PFM - Agent or PFM -RM agents and PFM - Manager. You can use icons to check the operating status of each agent.

The following figure shows an example of the Agents window of PFM - Web Console.

Figure 3-1 Example of the Agents window

The icons in the Agents tree that appear in the navigation frame on the left side of the window indicate the status of PFM - Agent or PFM - RM operation. You can display related reports and check the alarm status and event history by selecting an agent in the Agents tree.

You can monitor by using the Agents tree in the following two formats:

Monitoring by agent tree grouped for each product
Use this format to monitor by using the Agents tree with items grouped in PFM - Agent product folders.

Monitoring by using the Agents tree with items grouped for each logged-on user
Use this format to monitor by using an Agents tree that is optionally created by each logged-on user. Users can create and freely compose folders in units such as system structures or organizations.
 
The following table describes components of the Agents tree.

Table 3-1 Components of the Agents tree

Component Description

Root () This indicates a root node of the Agents tree.

For monitoring by using a tree of each product
The root appears with the name Products.

For monitoring by using a user-created tree
The root appears with the name User Agents (logged-on-user-name).

You cannot change the root name.
You can choose formats by using Display format in the navigation frame of the Agents window.

Folder () This component is used to categorize agents.
You can optionally make a maximum of 8 trees under a root (not including the root or agent) when creating an Agents tree.

Agent () This indicates PFM - Agent connected to PFM - Manager.
Names of agents appear as service IDs.
For details on service IDs, see the description of the service naming rules in the appendixes of the Job Management Partner 1/Performance Management Planning and Configuration Guide.

Remote Monitor Collector service () This is a PFM - RM service that collects performance data.
Each Remote Monitor Collector service appears with the name instance-name[name-of-host-running-PFM-RM].

Remote agent () This is an agent used by PFM - RM to monitor a program. An agent is created for each monitored program.
Each remote agent appears with the name instance-name[monitored-object-name@name-of-host-running-PFM-RM].

Group agent () This is an agent used by PFM - RM to monitor multiple programs simultaneously.
Each group agent appears with the name instance-name[group-name@name-of-host-running-PFM-RM].

Supplemental information:

You can create a maximum of 64 folders and 128 agents in one Agents tree when using a user-created Agents tree.

In the case of a tree organized by each product (when the selected display format is Products), the Unknown folder stores the PFM - RMs or PFM - Agents that are not registered in the Performance Management system. For details on how to register PFM - Agents or PFM - RMs, see the chapter that describes installation and setup in the Job Management Partner 1/Performance Management Planning and Configuration Guide.
