Manage Connection Monitoring

This task configures the timers that connection monitoring uses to detect outages and enables or disables connection monitoring for selected machines.

You can view and, if authorized, change connection monitoring settings by machine. Connection monitoring generates serviceable events when communication problems are detected between the HMC and managed systems. If you disable connection monitoring, no serviceable events are generated for networking problems between the selected machine and this HMC.

To monitor the connections, do the following:

1. Open the Manage Connection Monitoring task from the Service Management work pane.
2. From the Manage Connection Monitoring window, adjust the timer settings, if required, and enable or disable the server.
3. Click OK when you have completed the task.
