Logging on to the Web-based System Monitor
Once you have either created new monitors or decided to use the default
monitors, you are ready to log on to the Web-based System Monitor to monitor
the system. Before you can log on to the Web-based System Monitor, you
must perform the following tasks:
- Start InterChange Server Express on the machine being monitored.
- Make sure the Web-based System Monitor and the application server are
installed. For installation instructions, see Installing WebSphere
Integration Express for Item Synchronization.
- Start the application server.
- Obtain the username and password necessary for logging on to the Web-based
System Monitor. The username and password are the same as those used
when logging on to ICS Express.
To log on to the Web-based System Monitor, do the following:
- In a Web browser, navigate to the URL that was specified in the
DASHBOARD_URL environment variable during installation of the
Web-based System Monitor.
This URL is made up of three elements:
- The URL prefix http://
- The base URL of your Web server
- The value specified for the context root of the installed application, as
specified during the installation of the Web-based System Monitor. This
value must be ICSMonitor.
For instance, if the Web server is named monitorserver, and the
root context is specified as ICSMonitor, as specified in the
installation instructions, the URL is:
http://monitorserver/ICSMonitor
The WebSphere InterChange Server System Monitor login screen appears (see Figure 10).

- Type the server name, user name, and password for the InterChange Server
Express instance you want to monitor, then click Login. The Web-based
System Monitor appears (see Figure 11).
