Defining OpenEdge Management monitoring and trending options for file systems and disks

OpenEdge Management can create resource monitor and trending options for all file systems and disks on a system where OpenEdge Management is installed.

You can specify whether you want OpenEdge Management to monitor only those file systems and disks used by OpenEdge databases, or all file systems and disks.

You can also choose whether or not OpenEdge Management should collect and store trend data on the file systems and disks. If you prefer, you can opt not to set up monitors for file systems and disks at all. These file system and disk resource monitors are created with default settings, helping you to expedite the resource monitoring setup activities.

Consider the following before you add monitors for file systems and disks in OpenEdge Management for your OpenEdge databases:

If a file system monitor or resource does not already exist, a new file system resource or monitor is configured. The monitor or trend process is enabled for each file system that is accessed by a managed database or any of its extents.

If a disk monitor or resource does not exist, a new disk resource or monitor is added. The monitor or trend process is enabled for each disk on the system that is accessed by a managed database or any of its extents.

Choose one of the following options to define monitors for file systems and disks:

Select Do not define any file system or disk monitors to bypass any monitoring and trending options.
