Logging on to System Monitor
After you have either created your own monitors (see Creating additional monitors) or decided to use the default
monitors (see Using default monitors), you are ready to log on to System Monitor to monitor the
system.
Before you begin:
- Start InterChange Server Express on the machine being monitored.
- Make sure System Monitor and the application server are installed.
For installation instructions, see the WebSphere Business Integration Server Express Installation Guide.
- Start the application server.
- Obtain the user name and password necessary for logging on to System
Monitor. The user name and password are the same as those used when
logging on to InterChange Server Express.
Perform the following steps to log on to System Monitor:
- In a Web browser, navigate to the URL for System Monitor. The URL you use for System Monitor depends on whether you are using WebSphere Application Server, WebSphere Application Server Express, or Tomcat. Refer to the WebSphere Business Integration Server Express Installation Guide for additional information about setting up System Monitor to work with WebSphere Application Server, WebSphere Application Server Express, or Tomcat.
- If System Monitor is installed as part of WebSphere Application Server Express installation, the URL is: http://HostName:7089/ICSMonitor where HostName is the host name of the Web server machine.
- If you used the installation script with a “y” in the 5th parameter, the URL is: http://HostName/ICSMonitor where HostName is the host name of the Web server machine.
- If you used the installation script with a “n” in the 5th parameter and a port number in the 6th parameter, the URL is: http://HostName:nnnn/ICSMonitor where HostName is the host name of the Web server machine and nnnn is the port number.
- If you are using Tomcat and did not change the port number, the URL is: http://HostName:8080/ICSMonitor where HostName is the host name of the Web server machine.
The System Monitor Login window appears, as show below:

- Type the server name, user name, and password for the InterChange Server Express
instance that you want to monitor, then click Login. System Monitor opens, as shown below, displaying System Overview as the default view:
