Using OMEGAMON II 67
Monitoring from the System Status Panel
Status indicators
A status indicator is a color bar or a word (for example, Warn) that represents the
performance of your DB2 subsystem. Color terminals can display both colors and words;
noncolor terminals can display only words.
The meaning of the status indicator colors is shown in the following table.
Alert notification
When you see a status indicator change for a monitored object, you know that
OMEGAMON II is alerting you to a change in performance. For example, when a status
indicator changes from green to red, you know that a condition for that object has
changed from normal to critical.
The yellow and red color bars also are used on data panels to highlight the values that do
not meet performance standards.
Note: This does not apply to panels that appear when you select Active Threads from
the System Status panel.
Investigating an alert
When a status indicator turns yellow or red, you can begin to investigate the problem
from the System Status panel.
■
Move the cursor to the monitored object with the yellow or red status indicator, and
press Enter.
Result: A panel appears that provides more information about the object you
selected.
When you press Enter in an action entry field, a default action is invoked.
