Administrator's Guide

Chapter 17. Monitoring the ADSM Server

Administrators can monitor the ADSM server to see the status of operations, display information about ADSM objects, monitor the record of ADSM activity, and select what types of events to save and where to save them. See the following sections:

Tasks:
"Using ADSM Queries to Display Information"
"Using SQL to Query the ADSM Database"
"Using the ADSM Activity Log"
"Using Event Logging"
"Setting Up SNMP for ADSM"
"Monitoring ADSM Accounting Records"

In this chapter, most examples illustrate how to perform tasks by using the ADSM command line interface. For information about the ADSM commands, see ADSM Administrator's Reference, or issue the HELP command from the command line of an ADSM administrative client.

All of the ADSM commands can be performed from the administrative client web interface. A Version 3 administrative client GUI is also available for the Windows NT and Windows 95 operating systems. For more information about using the administrative interfaces, see ADSM Quick Start. You can find detailed help for using the graphical user interfaces in the online help facilities.
