Monitoring the same resource on multiple groups or managed systems

This topic describes how to monitor the same resource on multiple groups or managed systems in IBM® Director.

You can apply a threshold task, which is a resource-monitor threshold that you have already created, to individual managed systems or groups to monitor the same resource for a set of conditions on multiple groups or managed systems. Create a threshold task by taking a resource monitor that is configured already and exporting it to a task.

Complete the following steps to create a threshold task:

  1. Create an individual or group threshold.
  2. In the IBM Director Console Tasks pane, expand the Resource Monitors task.
  3. Double-click the All Available Thresholds icon.
  4. In the All Available Thresholds window, right-click the threshold that you want to export to a task, and click Export to Task.
  5. In the Export Task window, type a descriptive name for the task, and click OK.
The new task is displayed in IBM Director Console under the Resource Monitors task. You can drag this new task onto other managed systems or groups to set identical threshold alerts.
