Resource monitoring terms

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.
