6.8.3 Checking the connection between an alarm table and a monitoring agent

To check whether an alarm table is bound, you can use the jpctool alarm list command.

Log on to the host where PFM - Manager is installed.
Execute the jpctool alarm list command to view the name of the alarm table whose binding you want to check.

For example, execute the following command when you want to view the alarm table names defined in the PFM - Agent for Platform (UNIX):
```
jpctool alarm list -key UNIX
```
The output is shown below. In this example, you can see that only the monitoring template is defined.
```
Product ID:U
Alarm Table Name:
  PFM UNIX Solution Alarms 6.70
  PFM UNIX Solution Alarms 7.00
```
For further details on the jpctool alarm list command, see the chapter that describes the command in the manual JP1/Performance Management Reference.
Execute the jpctool alarm list command to determine which agent the alarm table is bound to.

For example, execute the following command when you want to determine which agent the monitoring template PFM UNIX Solution Alarms 7.00 of the PFM - Agent for Platform (UNIX) is bound to:
```
jpctool alarm list -key UNIX -table "PFM UNIX Solution Alarms 7.00"
```
The output is shown below. In this example, you can see that the monitoring template is bound to the agents on the host01, hostA, and hostB.
```
