Monitor Suite

Features

Message Communicator

Sends out text messages to mobile phones and pagers and includes a 2-way SMS facility enabling replies and commands to be sent back to the iSeries directly from your mobile phone. Messages can also be sent as emails. For ultimate flexibility, Escalation Lists, Broadcast Groups, Schedules and Rotas can be set up so that messages get sent to the appropriate on-call personnel.

Message Monitor

Never miss an important message or hold up processing by having a message waiting for a reply. Monitors any system, application, user or device message queue and QHST message log - without requiring an exclusive lock, so users can still answer their own messages if necessary.

TCP/IP Monitor

Monitors for any Server failures connected via TCP/IP. These can be other iSeries, PC Servers or Open Systems Servers. Various tolerances and interval checking can be predefined.

Job Queue Monitor

Checks the status of any job queue and takes corrective action if necessary. If the number of jobs in any job queue reaches your predefined threshold, an alert can be issued or jobs can be moved to another job queue automatically. Action can also be taken if a job (and dependent jobs) has been waiting too long on a job queue without being processed.

Device Monitor

Checks the status of any device such as printers, tape drives etc. Automatic actions can be used to rectify problems.

Output Queue Monitor

Checks the status of any output queue and takes corrective action if necessary. Also checks the number of spool file entries on output queues and can issue an alert or take an automatic action if your predefined threshold is reached. Can also take action if the number of pages exceeds a threshold for any spool file.
