Monitoring your Workload

Controlling and managing scheduling activities and objects on plans with tasks.

To control and manage scheduling activities and objects in plans, you create and run tasks.

Note: You must create a connection to a remote IBM Workload Scheduler engine, before you can run tasks on it to obtain data.
You can create the following types of task:
Monitor Task
When you create a Monitor task, you define a query where you specify multiple criteria to search for items and to display the search results. You can then save, reuse, and share this task with other users, and modify it at any time.

Task sharing is enabled only if your role is authorized to share tasks. If you are not, contact the administrator or see: Limit task and engine sharing.

When you run the task, you launch the query, according to the filtering criteria, on all the objects associated to the IBM® Workload Scheduler connection you specified. A list of the objects that satisfy the search criteria is displayed when you run the task. You can view the objects resulting from your query, and their properties, and take actions on some of them.

Event Monitoring Task
When you create an Event Monitoring Task you define a query where you specify multiple criteria to search for specific monitoring objects stored on the database and to display the search results. Available monitoring objects are event rules, triggered actions, and operator messages. You can then save, reuse, and share this task with other users, and modify it at any time.

When you run the task, you launch the query, according to the filtering criteria, on all the objects associated to the IBM Workload Scheduler connection you specified. A list of the objects that satisfy the search criteria is displayed when you run the task. You can view the objects resulting from your query, and their properties, and take actions on some of them.

Report Task
For information about this type of task, see Reporting.
Note:

To create a monitoring task, you can also define a monitoring task query by clicking Monitoring & Reporting > Workload Monitoring > Monitor Workload. For details about the complete procedure, see Monitoring your items in the plan.
