To create a Monitor
Prompts task,
perform the following steps.
Note: For all the details about options and fields displayed
in the panels, see the online help by clicking the question mark located
at the top-right corner of each panel.
Procedure
In the navigation bar, click System Status
and Health > Workload Monitoring > Monitor Workload and
follow the steps described in Creating a monitoring task query.
If you are familiar with conman, in the Query text
box specify a query based on the conman showprompts syntax.
Alternatively, click Edit to select the filter
criteria from the list of options that is displayed.
In the General Filter section, specify some broad filtering
criteria to limit the results retrieved by your query. Here you start
refining the scope of your query by also considering the amount of
information you want to retrieve. Optionally, in some of the results
tables in the Periodic Refresh Options section, you can customize
how often to refresh the information by specifying the refresh interval
in seconds in hh:mm:ss format, with a minimum of 30 seconds and a
maximum of 7200 seconds. For example, 00:01:10 means 70 seconds. If
the value specified is not valid, the last valid value is automatically
used. If the periodic refresh is enabled for a task, when the task
runs, the refresh time control options are shown in the results table.
You can also set or change the periodic refresh interval directly
in the results table when the timer is in stop status. In this case,
the value specified at task creation time is temporarily overwritten. You can filter
the task results based on the prompt name or status. You can also
configure the automatic refresh of the task results in the table.
In the Columns Definition section, select the information
you want to display in the table containing the query results. According
to the columns you choose here, the corresponding information is displayed
in the task results table. For example, for all the prompts resulting
from your query, you might want to know their type and text. You can
then drill down into this information displayed in the table and navigate
it. In the Columns Definition panel, not only can you select the columns
for this task results, but you can also specify the columns for secondary queries
on jobs, and job streams. From the resulting list of prompts, you
can launch a secondary query to view a list of all the jobs associated
to each of them. Starting from the Monitor
Prompts task results
table, you can start further queries on secondary objects associated
to one of the prompts in the table; the information to be retrieved
with these secondary queries is specified in this panel.
Results
After specifying all the required criteria, you can save your
task or immediately run it to create a list of domains that satisfies
your filtering settings. For details, see Creating a monitoring task query.
