1.6.6 Displaying monitoring agents on the monitoring console (Linux)

Create a folder in the Agents tree on the monitoring console and place monitoring agents in that folder. If you create a folder for each unit of operation monitoring, you can display target monitoring agents by folder, facilitating smooth application of your day-to-day monitoring operation. For example, if you create a separate folder for each group, the groups and servers handled by individual monitoring agents can be identified at a glance.

Procedure

1. Log in to Performance Management from the monitoring console.

2. Verify that the Agents tab is selected in the Main window.

   If any other tab is selected, select the Agents tab.

   

3. Verify that the display format is User Agents.

   Note

   The display format is set to User Agents immediately after a login. If you change the display format to Products, the monitoring agents are displayed by type of agent product.

4. In the Agents window, select Edit Agent Tree.

5. Select User Agents (login-user-name) and click the New Folder button.

6. In New folder name, enter any name for the folder to be created, and then click the OK button.

   The created folder is displayed under User Agents (login-user-name).

7. Repeat steps 4 through 6 for each folder you wish to create.

8. Select a folder to which you want to add agents.

   

9. Click the New Agent button.

10. Click the symbol for the UNIX folder to expand the folder, and then select the monitoring-host-name<UNIX> agent.

    

    Note

    The PFM - Agents that are connected to PFM - Manager are displayed in the Edit Agent Tree > New Agent window. The UNIX folder displays a list of PFM - Agent Option for Platform (UNIX) monitoring agents. The monitoring agents are displayed in the format monitoring-host-name<UNIX>.

11. Click the OK button.

    You can verify that monitoring agents have been added to the created folder.

    Note

    The number displayed to the right of monitoring-host-name<UNIX> is the data model version number. For details about data models, see the topic Compatibility among data model versions in the JP1/Performance Management Planning and Configuration Guide.

Postrequisites
