Overview of the monitoring template
The Performance Management products enable you to define alarms and reports by the following methods:
-
Using the alarms and reports defined by PFM - Agent
-
Copying and customizing the alarms and reports defined by PFM - Agent
-
Using a wizard to define new information
A set of alarms and reports provided by PFM - Agent is called a monitoring template. Because the necessary information is predefined for the reports and alarms in the monitoring template, you can copy them in order to use the monitoring template as is or you can customize them as appropriate for your environment. This eliminates the need to use the wizard to create new definitions, thus simplifying the preparations for monitoring the operating status of desired programs.
This chapter describes the alarm and report settings in the monitoring template that have been defined by PFM - Agent for Oracle.
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.
