3.2.6 Setting up the monitoring items for availability monitoring as configuration information (working with Performance Management)
Monitoring item setup for availability monitoring is required when ITSLM is linked with Performance Management.
If you link ITSLM with Performance Management, set up the monitoring items as configuration information.
Monitoring item setup for availability monitoring associates measurement conditions set in Performance Management with monitored services. When you perform this setup, you can check the availability of monitored services in ITSLM.
Configuration information for monitored services that has already been set up must be set up again in the following situations:
-
Monitored services have been added, changed, or deleted
-
Hosts in the business group have been changed
-
Monitoring agents have been added or deleted
When you set up monitoring items for availability monitoring, you must first use PFM - Agent for Service Response to define IE scenarios or Web transactions. For details about the definitions in PFM - Agent for Service Response, see the applicable PFM - Agent for Service Response manual.
