Monitoring can be used to provide notification and additional responses to events. In this context, information (statistics), events and events notification/response are monitoring instances for example.
In TrueSight Middleware Administrator, you configure monitoring in various Administration Console locations. Most monitoring-related settings are available through the Settings object, one of the Navigation Panel options.
Certain functions are presented in context within Properties Editors. For instance, email notification and script execution are two options set when defining rule types for active events. You configure these while setting rule type definitions for projects within a selected project's Properties Editor.
Three top-level server settings options are associated with the Settings object (accessed by clicking Settings in the Navigation Panel):
The Archive Settings determine how TrueSight Middleware Administrator handles the archiving of Queue Manager data. The application periodically creates automatic backups of Queue Manager configurations.
The settings used in this section determine how this archiving is executed.
Note
Monitoring settings set monitoring intervals for connections and related objects associated with TrueSight Middleware Administrator projects.
There are two settings:
The first setting, Monitor Interval, sets the frequency of object monitoring. There is a default polling interval of 300 seconds. The interval sets how often:
Factors in setting Monitor Interval
Setting an interval for collecting information from a connection is a matter of user preference. If the connections are performing normally, there is no reason to change current settings. If problems are reported from multiple connections, you can increase the frequency as needed.
At the same time, intensive or hyper-monitoring may stress the system simply by increasing network/data traffic. Please keep this in mind when reducing the interval (which of course increases the rate of monitoring).
The number of configured connections, the limitations of the hardware involved, and network speed are all factors to consider when determining the best monitoring interval for your environment.
SMTP settings define the source email parameters for the sender of monitoring results notification to any mail recipients designated in the Monitoring and Archive Settings categories.
