Viewing and interacting with monitors
If you have preconfigured monitors to run in Management Central, you can view and interact with system monitors, message monitors, job monitors, file monitors, and B2B activity monitors using iSeries™ Navigator for Wireless.
In the following figure, each Internet-ready telephone is displaying detailed metric information for a system. Figure 1. Viewing monitor metrics on a wireless device
- System monitors
You can work with system monitors to view the metrics and current values being monitored, as well as the top 20 items (jobs, disk units, and so forth) that make up the metric value. You can also work with jobs listed in the monitor (display details, hold, release, and end). - Job monitors
You can work with job monitors to view all jobs across systems that match monitor criteria. You can see metrics and current values being monitored, and you can work with the jobs listed in the monitor (display details, hold, release, and end). - Message monitors
You can work with message monitors to view all messages across systems that match monitor criteria. And you can work with the messages listed in the monitor (display details, reply, and delete). - File monitors
You can use a file monitor to notify you whenever a selected file has changed. Or, you can monitor for a specified size or for specified text strings. - B2B activity monitors
If you have an application like Connect for System i™ configured, you can use a business-to-business (B2B) activity monitor to monitor your B2B transactions. From a wireless device, you can view metrics and current B2B transaction values being monitored.
