Monitoring system activity

Monitoring system activity is one of the many important tasks in the day of an administrator. Monitoring the flow of work through the system is only a piece of the information that should be monitored on a daily basis. You can accomplish this in a variety of ways, such as using IBM® Navigator for i.

Modeled after the top half of the Work with System Status (WRKSYSSTS) display in the character-based interface, the System Status window offers a quick and easy way to check the status of a system. Management Central allows you to monitor more in depth functions through the use of system monitors.

You can access the System Status window from the System folder.

To get to System Status from the System folder:

1. Expand System.
2. Click System Status.

For more information about the different tasks that you can complete using system status, see the IBM Navigator for i help.
