IBM Streams 4.2

Monitoring jobs

Use the Streams Console or the streamtool lsjobs command to view the status of application jobs in an IBM® Streams instance.

About this task

You can view information only for the jobs that you are authorized to work with, as determined by the access control lists for IBM Streams.

Procedure

Monitor jobs in the Streams Console.
Run one or more of the following commands:
- The streamtool lsjobs command provides status information and a health summary for each job.
- The streamtool capturestate command provides more detailed information about the system health.
For more information about command syntax and options, enter streamtool man command-name.

Results

The command and Streams Console output includes status information and a health summary. The health summary is an aggregation of all the processing element (PE) health summaries for the job. If all of the PEs for a job are reported as healthy, IBM Streams reports the job as healthy.
