Starting and stopping the monitoring agent in virtual systems

You can manually stop the monitoring agent from collecting data, for example in virtual system environments that are still in development. Then, when you are ready to start collecting data again, you can manually restart the agent.

Procedure

  1. Use Secure Shell (SSH) to log in to the virtual machine as root.
  2. Change to the following directory: /0config/nodepkgs/common/scripts/itcamwmq.
  3. Do the following steps to start the monitoring agent:
    1. Run the following command: ./operation.sh start
    2. After approximately ten minutes, open the IBM® Cloud Pak System Software Monitoring Portal and confirm that the monitoring agent for WebSphere® MQ is connected and running.
  4. Do the following steps to stop the monitoring agent:
    1. Run the following command: ./operation.sh stop
    2. Click Submit.
