Configure FMS monitoring with the administrative interface

You can use a web browser interface to manage FMS operations. This procedure describes how to configure FMS monitoring with the administrative interface. You can also configure FMS monitoring with a configuration file. Tip Because this functionality is provided through JMX Beans, any JMX client can access the FSC monitoring data. Java provides free JMX clients such as JConsole and JVisualVVM that can be used for this purpose. Procedure Start the FMS monitoring administrative interface. By default, the address is http://host-name:8999. Under the FSC_Critical_Events heading, click id=FSC_Critical_Events_Monitoring_Configurations. This view lists the monitoring mode and all the metrics available for monitoring. Set the Health_monitoring_mode value to one of the following: Normal Enables monitoring of all the metrics listed in the file. Disable_Alerts Enables monitoring of all the metrics listed in the file, but disables all notifications of critical events, regardless of individual notification settings on any metric. Off Disables monitoring of all the metrics listed in the file. Click Apply and click Back to Agent View. In the Agent View under the FSC_Critical_Events heading, click the id=EmailResponder1 value. (Optional) To be notified when criteria reaches the specified threshold, specify from whom, to whom, and how frequently email notification of critical events are sent by setting the following EmailResponder1 values. All EmailResponder1 values in all child monitoring metrics must match the values set here. From_address Specify the address from which the notification emails are sent. Host_address Specify the server host from which the email notifications are sent. In a Multi-Site environment, the host address identifies the location of the critical events. Suppression_period Specify the amount of time (in seconds) to suppress email notification of critical events. To_address Specify the address to which the notification emails are sent. You can specify multiple email addresses, separated by a semicolon ( ; ). Click Apply. Click Back to Agent View. Under the FSC_Critical_Events heading, click id=LoggerResponder1. (Optional) To be notified when criteria reaches the specified threshold, specify to whom, and to which file, critical events are logged by setting the following LoggerResponder values. All LoggerResponder values in all child monitoring metrics must match the LoggerResponder values set here. Log_filename Specify the name of the file to which critical events are logged. Suppression_period Specify the amount of time (in minutes) to suppress logging of critical events to the log file. Click Apply.
