Verifying that a performance monitor is running for a resource

Verify that a performance monitor is running for a resource to ensure that IBM Spectrum Control is collecting performance metrics about the resource. Use performance monitors to collect metrics about the performance of storage systems and switches.

1. From the menu bar, go to a resource list page for a resource type.
   For example, to verify that a performance monitor is running for a storage system, go to Storage and select the type of storage system you want to monitor.
2. Locate the resource that you want to check.
3. View the Performance Monitor Status column.
   A value of Completed or Running indicates that the performance monitor is collecting performance metrics about the resource. The Last Successful Monitor column shows the most recent date and time when the performance monitor successfully collected data.
4. Optional: If the Performance Monitor Status column shows a status of Running with problems, Completed with warnings, Failed, or Canceled, you can view the logs to troubleshoot the error or warning messages. To view the performance monitor logs, right-click the resource row and click Data Collection > Open Performance Monitor Logs.
5. Optional: If the Performance Monitor Status column shows a status of Disabled, to enable the performance monitor for the resource, right-click the resource row and click Data Collection > Schedule. On the Data Collection Schedule page, select Enabled.
   Tip: You can set the performance monitor to Enabled only if the probe is set to Enabled. If a probe is set to Disabled, the performance monitor cannot run.
