Adding JVMs to the Watch List

You can monitor the status of JVMs by adding entries to the Watch List. The WATCHLTZ view lists all of the JVMs on the Watch List, and their status. The Watch List (W) column on JVMDISC also indicates whether a JVM is on the Watch List.

You can add multiple entries for a JVM with different monitoring criteria. For example, you can add a generic entry with minimal monitoring criteria to monitor all JVMs with the same job name, and another entry to monitor one of the JVMs with a specific port number and system name. The Cnt field indicates the number of entries for a JVM. You can hyperlink on the Job Name field to see all of the entries for a JVM on the WATCHLST view.

You can set alarms on the WATCHLST and WATCHLTZ views to alert you when the status of a JVM changes.
