The SA z/OS monitoring agent provides a set of predefined situations
that monitor the status and health of automation resources within
the SA z/OS subplex. These situations check for specified conditions
and can trigger
Critical,
Warning, or
Informational situation event
indicators (also called alerts) in the Navigator. When a situation
triggers an alert, you can investigate the situation event by opening
its workspace. If both a warning and a critical condition occur for
the same workspace, the indicator always shows the highest-level situation
event (the critical one).
You can use the Situation Editor to examine the conditions or values being monitored and, if necessary, change them to ones better suited to your environment. You can also use the predefined situations as models for creating your own situations, using SA z/OS monitoring agent attributes. Before your new situations can take effect, you must distribute them to the systems you want to monitor. For instructions, see the Tivoli Enterprise Portal online help.
