You can set up a schedule to have IBM Director check
for bottlenecks on a regular basis. When a bottleneck is detected, an event
is added to the event log, and IBM Director generates
a report.
You must select the Generate bottleneck events check
box for the report definition that you are using. Otherwise, an event action
plan cannot notify you that a bottleneck has occurred, because event action
plans depend on events to trigger event actions.
Complete these steps
to schedule regular checks for bottlenecks:
- In the IBM Director Console Tasks pane, expand the Capacity
Manager task.
- Expand the Report Generator subtask. Drag Hourly Bottleneck
Events onto the managed system or systems or group that you want to monitor
for bottlenecks.
- Click Schedule.
- In the New Scheduled Job window, type a job name.
- Select the date and time for the initial check.
- Click Advanced to schedule the job to repeat at regular
intervals.
- On the Date/Time page of the New Scheduled Job window, select
the Repeat check box.
- In the Repeats group box of the Repeat window, select how
often you want to check for performance bottlenecks.
- Click OK.
- Click .
- In the Save Job window, type a descriptive name for the scheduled
job. Click OK. A confirmation message is displayed,
indicating that you have saved the job.
- Click OK to close the message window.
