Before you begin monitoring database resources using OpenEdge Management, it is important to understand the different pieces of resource monitoring and how they work together. A resource is a specific component of your configuration.
OpenEdge Management uses the following components in monitoring resources:
Alerts — Notifications sent when rules are broken.
Actions — Activities triggered in response to alerts. For example, you might indicate that you want to receive an e-mail if a database crashes.
Resource monitoring plan — A plan that identifies the rules against which a resource is monitored and the schedule for that monitoring. OpenEdge Management cannot monitor a resource without a monitoring plan.
Rules — Criteria against which a resource's performance is measured.
Schedule — The block of time during which a resource is polled.
For information about monitoring file, network, and system resources, see OpenEdge Management: Resource Monitoring.
For information about monitoring OpenEdge servers, see OpenEdge Management: Servers, DataServers, Messengers, and Adapters.
For information about setting configuration properties for databases and other resources, see OpenEdge Management and OpenEdge Explorer: Configuration.
Alerts — Notifications sent when rules are broken.
