Default monitor definitions

When you specify a sample rate for the Region, Global, or DB2/DBCTL resource type in a monitor specification, CICSPlex® SM automatically creates a corresponding monitor definition.

It is important to note that:
  • The Name field contains a unique name that begins with an asterisk (*) and is followed by seven digits.
  • The Name or generic name of resource being monitored field contains *, which means all occurrences of this resource type are to be monitored.
  • The Monitoring resource class field contains MCICS for the resource type Region, MGBL for the resource type Global, or MDBX for the resource type DB2/DBCTl.
  • The Inclusion in CPSM monitoring optionfield contains YES, which means the specified resource occurrences are to be included in monitoring.
  • For the Region and Global resource types, the Resource status facility populationfield contains YES, which means the specified resource occurrences are to be tracked for the resource status facility.
Monitor definitions created by CICSPlex SM are automatically installed when a CICS® system using the associated specification is started. You cannot update or remove these monitor definitions.
