Monitoring operations
You can easily monitor the status of your environment. With the operational summaries, you can identify where applications, servers, or autonomic managers are running in your environment, the health of your environment, and if your environment is performing to your service-level agreements.
Before you begin
Procedure
- Use reports and charting to monitor the performance of your environment. See Creating and managing reports for more information.
- Use the dashboard to view a high level summary of your operational environment. To access the dashboard, click Runtime operations* Dashboard*. By default, the dashboard displays the summary charts for your environment. To configure the data that displays in the dashboard, update the Dashboard preferences.
- Use the visualization data service to save operational data to text files that you can reuse with other charting programs. Historic data is logged in comma-separated values with time stamps in standard long value from the java.util.Date class. See Configuring the visualization data service for more information.
- To monitor autonomic management events that occur when you are in automatic or supervised mode, use task management. See Managing runtime tasks for more information.
What to do next
To troubleshoot unexpected behavior, read about troubleshooting extended administration.
Set custom properties to modify the runtime operations reports. For example, you can limit what cell information is displayed, specify how many data sets are displayed in summary charts, or specify how many milliseconds of statistics are used to calculate the top number of data sets to display in the summary charts.
