Viewing the status of all servers of one type

You can view the status of all servers of a specific server type, such as all Sterling Connect:Direct® servers. You view server status through the Server Status Monitor or the Adapter Status Monitor.

The Server Status Monitor displays summary information about current server activity. The exact information displayed depends on the server type. For example, no values are displayed for the Server Version, License Expiration, and License Sessions/Accts of dynamically discovered servers, such as IBM® Global High Availability Mailbox.

To view the status of all managed servers of one type:
  1. Select the icon representing the server type. See IBM Sterling Control Center Monitor console for the table of icons.
    Tip: You can shift-click to select adjacent servers or server groups or ctrl-click to select nonadjacent servers or server groups.
  2. Right-click one of the selected server type icons and select Server Status Monitor.

    The Server Status Monitor window gives a dynamic summary of managed server activity. You can open multiple Server Status Monitor windows.

    This window shows the following information:

    • Server status icons.
    • The server's IBM Sterling Control Center Monitor name/alias.
    • The current number of high-, medium-, and low-severity alerts on the server.
    • The version of Sterling Connect:Direct, Sterling Connect:Enterprise®, Sterling Connect:Express, MQ MFT, Sterling B2B Integrator, Sterling Secure Proxy, or File Transfer Protocol server, software running on the server, if the server supports sending this information to IBM Sterling Control Center Monitor.
    • If you are a data visibility restricted user, the current number of high-, medium-, and low-severity alerts that are displayed are the alerts for which you have visibility. For example, if there are 5 global high-severity alerts and 2 dvg=payroll high-severity alerts and you are restricted to a data visibility group of payroll, the count shown is a high-severity alert count of 2. A non-data visibility group-restricted user would show a high-severity alert count of 7.
    • The following information is displayed for Sterling Connect:Direct, Sterling B2B Integrator, Sterling Connect:Express servers:
      • The maximum number of concurrent sessions that have occurred on the server (in the High column).
      • The number of times that this server reached the maximum number of concurrent sessions (in the # column).
      • The last date and time that the server reached the maximum number of concurrent sessions (in the Last Occurrence column).
      • The number of executing and non-executing Processes.

        The Server Status Monitor counts a Sterling Connect:Direct PNODE=SNODE Process as two sessions.
