2.4 Overview of monitoring templates
In Performance Management, you can use the following methods to define alarms and reports:
-
Using the alarms and reports defined in PFM - Agent without any modification
-
Copying and customizing the alarms and reports defined in PFM - Agent
-
Using the wizard to define new alarms and reports
A collection of alarms and reports provided by PFM - Agent is called a monitoring template. Because the necessary information is predefined for the alarms and reports in the monitoring templates, you can copy and use them without modification, or you can customize them according to the user environment. Therefore, you can easily prepare for monitoring the operating status of a monitoring target without having to use a wizard to specify new definitions.
For details about the settings of alarms and reports in the monitoring templates defined in PFM - Agent for Platform, see 7. Monitoring Templates. For details about how to use the monitoring templates, see the chapter that explains operation monitoring that uses alarms and creates reports for operation analysis in the JP1/Performance Management User's Guide.
