Monitoring IBM Content Navigator components

The IBM® System Dashboard for Enterprise Content Management includes two main components: the listener and the dashboard. The listener receives a stream of events and other performance information from an IBM Content Navigator application, and sends the gathered data to dashboard for analysis and storage. The listener is the equivalent of an agent in Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). You can use the dashboard to view trends in performance data.

The dashboard is a client program that retrieves reports from the listener and processes the gathered data, such as storing it, displaying it graphically, or using it to perform other tasks. The listener waits for a dashboard to connect, to inquire about the performance counter values in the listener, and to determine the health of the application, or to send custom commands and messages back to the listener.
