IBM FileNet P8, Version 5.2.1

ECM System Monitor

IBM® Enterprise Content Management System Monitor collects and distributes performance data on IBM enterprise content management products that are installed at a site, independent of the operating system. The system monitor is composed of the following components.

Management server: Receives, processes, and stores events from management agents. Events can be provided to the Web Console, used for standard reporting, or forwarded to vendor systems. Events are forwarded by email or SNMP MIB, from which they can be imported into enterprise system management tools. Events can also be written to a system monitor log file for analysis. Operators or help desk employees can see FileNet® P8-related events in their management consoles rather than the Web Console.
Management agent: Monitors the health parameters (monitors and listeners) and log files. The management agent runs on each managed component, and can execute tasks such as restarting a component that has failed.
Web Console: A browser-based graphical user interface that accesses the Event Console and the system monitor tools such as the Task Execution Manager or the Reporting or Knowledge Base. The Event Console allows an administrator to see the status of all managed components at a glance and to drill down into details to troubleshoot and identify the root cause of problems.
Monitoring Manager: A graphical user interface that is used to add, delete, and configure monitors on the managed components. You can configure the execution period of the monitor, the thresholds and related severities, and activities to be performed automatically if a certain threshold is met.
Task Execution Manager: A graphical user interface that executes tasks on the managed components. The system monitor provides tasks for configuration of the systems as well as for the automation of routine work such as restarting a component or shutting down an entire FileNet P8 domain. Since the Task Execution Manager performs the task, the administrator does not need to know the details of how to do it.
