5.1 Overview of monitoring tasks using SLM
SLM supports stable operation of monitored services by enabling the monitoring persons to monitor the status of the services. In a system with predefined SLOs, which are the evaluation metrics for the statuses of the monitored services, monitoring is performed so as to comply with the SLOs and to maintain the service level. SLM reports warnings based on the monitoring results before overages of thresholds occur. By taking an appropriate corrective action at the warning stage, you can comply with the SLOs and prevent errors from occurring in the performance of monitored services.
This section explains the procedure from start to stop of monitoring when SLM is used and the windows in SLM that are used for monitoring.
