Placing the CandleMonitor node in message flows
The primary use of the CandleMonitor node is to produce the statistics that are displayed in the high-level statistics workspaces in Tivoli® Enterprise Portal. To ensure that the correct statistics are gathered for the following workspaces, the CandleMonitor node must be correctly placed in message flows:
- Monitor Node Broker Statistics workspace
- Monitor Node Base Statistics workspace
- Monitor Node Execution Group Statistics workspace
- Monitor Node Events workspace
- Monitor Node Message Flow Statistics workspace
A secondary use of the CandleMonitor node is to produce user-defined message flow events that can be detected by Message Flow Event situations and viewed in the Monitor Node Events workspace. For information about how to use the CandleMonitor node for this purpose, see Producing event messages.
Important: You must provide unique label names to CandleMonitor nodes
in a message flow. The names must be unique with respect to any other
names in the entire message flow, including its subflows. If the CandleMonitor node label
names are not unique, data for different nodes is combined in illogical
ways. Do not use the default names that are assigned to your CandleMonitor nodes.
