Resource monitoring terms
Before you begin monitoring database resources, 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 monitors the following resource types:
OpenEdge Management resource monitoring components include:
- 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.
This guide focuses on database resource monitoring. See the Resource Monitoring Guide for information about monitoring file, network, and system resources. See the Servers Guide for more information about monitoring OpenEdge servers.
