Two performance items can be monitored from JP1/ITSLM.
The characteristics of each item are described below.
- Organization of this subsection
(1) Default monitoring items
In a standard setup, JP1/ITSLM monitors the default monitoring items set in PFM - Agent and PFM - RM.
Default monitoring items are defined by default in PFM - Agent and PFM - RM.
These typical monitoring items are defined for each PFM - Agent and PFM - RM type and data model. You can use them like monitoring templates, to begin monitoring immediately with standard settings.
You cannot modify the default monitoring items.
For details on the default monitoring items for PFM - Agent or PFM - RM, see the documentation for these program products.
(2) Custom monitoring items
A custom monitoring item is a record field specified and defined by the user when a value not present in the default monitoring items needs to be analyzed in JP1/ITSLM.
You can define a maximum of 54 custom monitoring items for each PFM - Agent and PFM - RM type and data model.
Use a custom monitoring item when you need to customize a field to satisfy a particular monitoring requirement in Performance Management or JP1/ITSLM.
Define each custom monitoring item in a PFM - Manager definition file. This file is known as a definition file for custom monitoring items.
