Steps for logging on to System Monitor
After you have either created new monitors or decided to use the default
monitors, you are ready to log on to System Monitor to monitor the
system.
Before you begin:
- Start InterChange Server on the machine being monitored.
- Make sure System Monitor and the application server are installed.
For installation instructions, see WebSphere InterChange Server
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.
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, or Tomcat. Refer to
the WebSphere Business InterChange Server Installation Guide for
additional information about setting up System Monitor to work with WebSphere
Application Server, WebSphere Application Server, or Tomcat.
- If System Monitor is installed as part of WebSphere Application Server
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 WebSphere InterChange Server System Monitor login window appears (see Figure 10).

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