Monitoring your Workload

To control and manage scheduling activities and objects in plans, you create and run tasks.

Note: You must create a connection to a remote HCL Workload Automation engine, before you can run tasks on it to obtain data.
You can create the following types of task:
Monitor Task
When you create a Monitor task, you define a query where you specify multiple criteria to search for items and to display the search results. You can then save, reuse, and share this task with other users, and modify it at any time.

Task sharing is enabled only if your role is authorized to share tasks. If you are not, contact the administrator or see: Limit task and engine sharing.

When you run the task, you launch the query, according to the filtering criteria, on all the objects associated to the HCL Workload Automation connection you specified. A list of the objects that satisfy the search criteria is displayed when you run the task. You can view the objects resulting from your query, and their properties, and take actions on some of them.

Event Monitoring Task
When you create an Event Monitoring Task you define a query where you specify multiple criteria to search for specific monitoring objects stored on the database and to display the search results. Available monitoring objects are event rules, triggered actions, and operator messages. You can then save, reuse, and share this task with other users, and modify it at any time.

When you run the task, you launch the query, according to the filtering criteria, on all the objects associated to the HCL Workload Automation connection you specified. A list of the objects that satisfy the search criteria is displayed when you run the task. You can view the objects resulting from your query, and their properties, and take actions on some of them.

Report Task
For information about this type of task, see Reporting.
To create a task, you perform the following steps:
  1. In the navigation bar, click System Status and Health > All Configured Tasks > New.
  2. In the Select Task Type panel, select the task you want to create, and click Next. You must select a task type to make the corresponding list active.
  3. Follow the procedure relating to the specific task you are creating.
Note:

To create a monitoring task, you can also define a monitoring task query by clicking System Status and Health > Workload Monitoring > Monitor Workload. For details about the complete procedure, see Creating a monitoring task query.

You can also save your tasks as one of your favorite bookmarks in your browser. To do this, from the panel displaying your task results, click the add link icon Add link icon to launch your task directly from the browser, in the same way you do when accessing any other website.

Each task you create and save is included under the All Configured Tasks menu. Saved tasks are also listed under:
System Status and Health > Workload Monitoring > Monitor Workload.
For tasks to monitor jobs, critical jobs, job streams, workstation, files, resources, domains, prompts, and Show plan view.
System Status and Health > Event Monitoring > Workload Events
For tasks to monitor event rules, operator messages, and triggered actions.
