Re: System i Message monitors

You can get iNav monitor to restart after being shut down normally. In
naming you monitor simply include &RESTART as part of the name.

See the archive post
http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l/201307/msg00754.html

For example I have a "CPU Monitor &RESTART" that comes back after the
system IPLs or returns from restricted mode. I do have to include a normal
ending of the sever with ENDTCPSVR *MGTC followed by a short delay job to
allow normal ending of the monitor.

I have used this now since July of last year with minimal interruptions of
monitoring.

Thanks Jim.

I set up some monitors on Navigator but it seems that I have to restart
them every day since our system goes down for backups and comes back at 3am.
The jobs I am concerned about are scheduled for after backups. So
Navigator seemed to not be able to do what I want since I haven't figured
out how to start them again after backup.

Thanks,

IBM i Navigator has some tools as long as you already have the software
license. I monitor for specific messages showing up in the QSYSOPR msgq
and send email messages based on them. I also have it monitor disk usage
and CPU usage. Notification can happen when those go above a threshold.

Good afternoon,

We're interested in finding software that monitors messages on our
System I partitions and notifies us in some way.

I've found SNDTWEET from Kisco and some software from NYCO in the UK.

Are there others? Does anyone know price ranges for any of these? Any
recommendations or cautions?

Just looking right now.

Thanks for your help,

Thanks,

Dave B
