Monitors

A monitor is a state machine that is used to represent a particular aspect of the application, device, or service being monitored. They are used to determine the health state of a particular component and are integral part of the health model. The monitor can check for a single event or a wide range of events that represent many different problems.

When a key message is reported to the event log, it will be indicated in the Health Explorer for the relevant enterprise server instance. The server's overall state will also indicate that an error or warning has occurred.

In the event of an error, a monitor will need to be reset in order to return it to a healthy state. An exception to this is the Shared memory storage constrained message. If a message is detected that indicates the constraint has ended, then the health state for that monitor will return to healthy.

The following monitors, with associated error codes and descriptions, are included in the Micro Focus Management Packs:
