Using the Application Management Configuration Editor
Use the Application Management Configuration Editor to configure your monitoring environment.
The Application Management Configuration Editor provides a simple editor for creating reusable definitions of applications, clients, and transactions to be monitored. These applications, clients, and transactions can be assigned to one or more profile configurations that you can also define using this editor. By applying these common profile configurations across your environment, you can deploy monitoring in large-scale environments more efficiently.
The transaction agents also include the capability for tracking and reporting on generic TCP traffic in your environment. They provide several key TCP-centric metrics and tracking at the aggregate level. Using this solution for broadly monitoring all application network-based transactions, you can understand all the application components, resources, and connections used by your application. It can be deployed on a network-based appliance that detects all TCP network traffic and builds a high level aggregate topology of all application connections.
The editor includes an XML-file based central repository. With this repository you can edit information from the command line, or when you are not logged on to the Tivoli Enterprise Portal.
- Setting alerts:
- Situations can be defined in context of the monitored application.
- Defining who or what to monitor:
- You can create reusable definitions for applications, clients, and transactions, independent of how they are monitored.
- Where and how to monitor:
- Profiles apply common rules across the monitored environment. You can set up profiles and distribution lists that specify where your monitoring occurs in your environment.
