Viewing monitoring data for cloud groups

If you deploy an instance of an internal System Monitoring shared service to a cloud group or environment profile, you can open IBM® Cloud Pak System Software Monitoring Portal to access the data collected by the monitoring agents in the cloud group or environment profile.

1. Click Patterns > Shared Services. If you are on 2.3.3.3, click Patterns > Provision > Shared Services.
   The Shared Service Instances page displays the list of shared services, grouped by shared service type. The list is displayed in a table format, providing some basic details about each shared service.
2. Select the instance of the internal System Monitoring shared service for which you want to view monitoring data.
   Details about the shared service display in the Shared Service Instances pane.
3. Expand Virtual machine perspective to show details for the virtual machines, including health status.
4. Click the Monitor link for the virtual machine that hosts the hub Tivoli® Enterprise Monitoring Server.
   Important: The 64-bit version of the Java™ Runtime Environment (JRE) is not supported for this operation. You must have the 32-bit version of the IBM JRE 6 (SR 12 and later) or IBM JRE 7 installed.

   If the Monitor link is not displayed, it indicates that the Monitoring Agent for Virtual Applications in the shared service is stopped. Do the following steps to start the agent. Do not click the Endpoint link because you will receive an error message.

   1. Click Manage. The Instance Console window is displayed.
   2. Click Operation.
   3. Click Monitoring.
   4. Click Fundamental to expand the section.
   5. Click the plus sign (+) beside Connect and disconnect.
   6. Select Connect and then click Submit.

   After the operation is completed, the Monitor link is displayed.
