6.6.1 Overview of collecting information about the operating status of processes
Information about the operating status of processes can be collected by PFM - Agent for Platform and then monitored using PFM - Web Console. By monitoring information about the operating status of processes, you can ensure that the operating system is working properly.
The functionality for collecting information about the operating status of processes, which is new to PFM - Agent for Platform version 10-00, is an extension of the functionality from versions 09-00 and earlier for collecting information about the application operating status.
There are two methods for using PFM - Agent for Platform to collect information about the operating status of processes:
-
Collecting information on a per-process or per-service basis
-
Collecting information on a per-application basis by grouping multiple processes and services
Use the Agents tree of PFM - Web Console to configure collection of information about the operating status of processes.
If you prefer to configure collection of information about the operating status of processes in the same way it was done in versions 09-00 and earlier of PFM - Agent for Platform, you can use the Services tree of PFM - Web Console.
