Overview of the monitoring template
The Performance Management products enable you to define alarms and reports with the following methods:
-
Using alarms and reports defined by PFM - RM for Microsoft SQL Server without change.
-
Copying and customizing the alarms and reports defined by PFM - RM for Microsoft SQL Server.
-
Using the wizard to define new reports.
Alarms and reports provided by a PFM - RM for Microsoft SQL Server constitute a monitoring template. Because all required information is already defined for the alarms and reports in a monitoring template, you can use them as provided, or customize them as appropriate for your environment. This enables you to complete the preparations for monitoring the operating status of a desired program without having to use the wizard to define new reports.
This chapter describes the alarm and report settings in the monitoring template that are defined by PFM - RM for Microsoft SQL Server.
For details about using the monitoring template, see the chapter on creating reports used for operation analysis or the chapter on alarm-based operation monitoring in the JP1/Performance Management User's Guide.
- Note:
-
The threshold specified for the alarms in the monitoring template is a reference example. When you use an alarm in the monitoring template, copy it and set an appropriate threshold according to the environment and the OS.
