Define a data source to collect data from a Windows service.


Procedure

  1. On the Agent Initial Data Source page (Figure 1) or the Data Source Location page, click A process in the Monitoring Data Categories area.

    Figure 1. Adding a Windows service monitor

  2. In the Data Sources area, click A Windows service.

  3. Click Next.

  4. On the Service Monitor page, in the Display name field, provide a description for the name of the service application to be shown in the Tivoli Enterprise Portal. You can type it manually or click Browse to view a list of services that are currently running on the local system or on a remote system.

    Figure 2. Service Monitor page

    If you click Browse, the Service Browser window opens (Figure 3). This window initially contains detailed information about each service on the Agent Builder system. The information includes the service name, the display name, the state, and the description for the service.

    Local services are not shown when Agent Builder is not running on a Windows system. A remote system Windows must be defined or selected, see ( Define connections for service browsing).

    The service description is not available when you are browsing through the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server or from a UNIX or Linux system.

  5. Select one or more services or do one or more of the following steps to work with the list in the Service Browser window:

    • To sort the list of services, click the column heading.

    • To refresh the information in the window, click the Refresh (lightening bolt) icon.

    • To search for a service, click the Search (binoculars) icon to open the Service Search window.

    • To view services on a different system, select a previously defined system from the Connection Name list or click Add to enter the system information. See ( Define connections for service browsing). You can load services from more than one system at a time, and switch between connections while services are loading for one or more connections.

    In the following example, after you select ccEvtMgr, it is shown in the Service name field on the Service Monitor page (Figure 5).
