3.1 Monitoring by using the Agents tree

You can monitor the status of agent operations in the Agents window of PFM - Web Console. The Agents tree window displays in a tree format the connection between PFM - Agent or PFM -RM agents and PFM - Manager. You can use icons to check the operating status of each agent.

Figure 3‒1: Example of the Agents window

The icons in the Agents tree that appear in the navigation frame on the left side of the window indicate the status of PFM - Agent or PFM - RM operation. You can display related reports and check the alarm status and event history by selecting an agent in the Agents tree.

You can monitor by using the Agents tree in the following two formats:

• Monitoring by agent tree grouped for each product

  Use this format to monitor by using the Agents tree with items grouped in PFM - Agent product folders.

• Monitoring by using the Agents tree with items grouped for each logged-on user

  Use this format to monitor by using an Agents tree that is optionally created by each logged-on user. Users can create and freely compose folders in units such as system structures or organizations.

For details on the components in the Agents tree, see the chapter describing the navigation frame of the Main window in the manual JP1/Performance Management Reference.

Supplemental information:

• A user-created agent tree can contain a maximum of eight levels. You can create a maximum of 64 folders and 128 agents at the root level or in a folder.

• In the case of a tree organized by each product (when the selected display format is Products), the Unknown folder stores the PFM - RMs or PFM - Agents that are not registered in the Performance Management system. For details on how to register PFM - Agents or PFM - RMs, see the chapter that describes installation and setup in the JP1/Performance Management Planning and Configuration Guide.

  Tip

  • You can use keywords to filter the information displayed in the navigation frame or the information frame. To filter the displayed components, enter part of a component name in the text box and click Filter. To remove the filter, click Clear.

  • If Multi select is selected, clicking the root icon or a folder in the Agents tree selects or deselects all its subordinate nodes. If you click a folder in which all nodes are deselected or only some nodes are selected, all of the folder's subordinate nodes will be selected. If you click a folder whose nodes are all selected, all of the folder's subordinate nodes will be deselected. If the folder you clicked contains subfolders, the selection status of the nodes in those folders also changes. This means that you can change the selection status of every node in the tree by clicking the root icon.
