Overview of the monitoring template
A set of alarms and reports provided by PFM - RM for Platform is called a monitoring template. You can define alarms and reports by the following methods:
-
Use the alarms and reports defined by PFM - RM for Platform
-
Copy and customize the alarms and reports defined by PFM - RM for Platform
-
Use a wizard to define new information
Because the necessary information for reports and alarms is predefined in the provided monitoring template, you can use the provided monitoring template as-is, or you can copy the provided template's reports and alarms and customize them as appropriate for your environment. Thus, it is not necessary to use the wizard to create new definitions, which simplifies the preparations for monitoring the operation status of a monitoring target.
This chapter describes the alarm and report settings in the monitoring template that have been defined by PFM - RM for Platform.
For details about how to use the monitoring template, see the chapter that describes report creation for operation analysis or operation monitoring by alarms in the JP1/Performance Management User's Guide.
- Notes:
-
-
The threshold value specified in the monitoring template is for reference only. To use the alarm from the monitoring template, you need to copy it and specify a threshold value that is appropriate to your environment and OS.

If the setup files for PFM - RM for Platform were copied to an instance of PFM - Manager earlier than version 09-10 for setup, an alarm may not be issued even if abnormal conditions are met for the following alarms on the monitoring template:
- Application Status alarm
To use the above alarm in an instance of PFM - Manager earlier than version 09-10 that meets these criteria, copy the alarm from the monitoring template and update it.
To copy and update the Application Status alarm:
1. In the navigation frame of the main window of PFM - Web Console, display the Alarms page.
2. In the navigation frame, select RM Platform and then PFM RM Platform Template Alarms [APP] 09.10.
3. In the Methods frame, select the Copy method.
4. Enter the alarm table name in the [New alarm table name] field in the information frame, and then click OK.
5. Select the Application Status alarm in the alarm table you copied from the navigation frame.
6. In the method frame, select the Edit method.
7. In the information frame, click Finish. (You do not need to make any changes to the settings.)
If you click the Start button under Process monitoring alarm settings in the Process Monitoring Settings window of version 09-10 or later of PFM - Web Console, the Application Status alarm in the monitoring template is bound instead. When using the PFM - Manager earlier than version 09-10, do not bind the alarm from the Process Monitoring Settings window.
Note that you can resolve this issue by upgrading to version 10-00 or later of PFM - Manager.
