Disabling an individual resource monitor

Disabling an individual resource monitor prevents any monitoring activities from occurring for that resource. When a resource is disabled using this procedure, all resource polling, alert generation, and information trending ceases. Resource monitors that are currently disabled are easily identified in the management console. A gray Resource Status icon precedes the resource's name when the resource appears in the list frame.

The method used to disable resources depends on whether the resource is a system, network, or file resource, or a database or an OpenEdge server resource.

To disable a system, network, or file resource monitor:

  1. In the Resource list, click the resource to be disabled. The Resource Summary page appears in the detail frame.
  2. Click Edit at the top of the resource page. The Properties section displays in the Edit Resource page.
  3. Clear the Enabled check box.
  4. Click Save. When you refresh the list frame, the color of the Resource Status icon for the disabled resource changes to gray.

To disable a database or an OpenEdge resource monitor:

  1. In the Resource list, click the resource to be disabled. The Database Control page (or OpenEdge main page for an OpenEdge server resource monitor) appears.
  2. Click Control (for database or NameServer resources) or Broker Control (for WebSpeed or AppServer resources). A summary page for the resource monitor you selected appears.
  3. Click Edit. Clear the Enabled check box to disable the database resource.
  4. Click Save. When you refresh the list frame, the color of the Resource Status icon for the disabled OpenEdge resource changes to gray.
