Configuration objects

IBM® Sterling Control Center Monitor uses information you configure to determine how the engine needs to monitor servers in your environment and the user roles that have access to servers and IBM Sterling Control Center Monitor objects.

You define the following types of items when configuring IBM Sterling Control Center Monitor:

• Servers in your environment and how they might logically be grouped
• Roles that specify actions users can perform and data they can view and work with on the servers and server groups defined in IBM Sterling Control Center Monitor
• Calendars and schedules that define the day, date, and time constraints to place on the work that IBM Sterling Control Center Monitor performs
• Data visibility groups (DVGs) that limit what data (events) a user has access to
• Email lists that you can associate with rules/actions to notify groups of individuals when an event occurs
• Rules that specify server events that cause actions to be taken, and when those rules are active
• Service level criteria (SLCs) that specify processing must occur within a specific time frame and for a specific duration of time
