IBM® Enterprise Content Management
System Monitor collects
and distributes performance data on IBM enterprise
content management products that are installed at a site, independent
of the operating system. The system monitor is composed of the following
components.
- Management server
- Receives, processes, and stores events from management agents.
Events can be provided to the Web Console, used for standard reporting,
or forwarded to vendor systems. Events are forwarded by email or SNMP
MIB, from which they can be imported into enterprise system management
tools. Events can also be written to a system monitor log file for
analysis. Operators or help desk employees can see FileNet® P8-related events in their management
consoles rather than the Web Console.
- Management agent
- Monitors the health parameters (monitors and listeners) and log
files. The management agent runs on each managed component, and can
execute tasks such as restarting a component that has failed.
- Web Console
- A browser-based graphical user interface that accesses the Event
Console and the system monitor tools such as the Task Execution Manager
or the Reporting or Knowledge Base. The Event Console allows an administrator
to see the status of all managed components at a glance and to drill
down into details to troubleshoot and identify the root cause of problems.
- Monitoring Manager
- A graphical user interface that is used to add, delete, and configure
monitors on the managed components. You can configure the execution
period of the monitor, the thresholds and related severities, and
activities to be performed automatically if a certain threshold is
met.
- Task Execution Manager
- A graphical user interface that executes tasks on the managed
components. The system monitor provides tasks for configuration of
the systems as well as for the automation of routine work such as
restarting a component or shutting down an entire FileNet P8 domain. Since the Task
Execution Manager performs the task, the administrator does not need
to know the details of how to do it.
