Monitoring Resource Pool Servers

N1 Provisioning Server agents are deployed on resource pool servers during installation and configuration. The agent software collects various monitoring data from the resource pool server and sends it to the N1 Provisioning Server.

The N1 Provisioning Server processes monitoring data and stores it in the message repository in the CPDB. The CPDB has a local database for messages processed by the servers. You also can route messages to an external application, such as a Network Monitoring System (NMS).

The monitoring system includes the TSPRagsol agent package for the Solaris 8 operating environment and the TSPRaglinx agent for the RedHat AS2.1 operating environment.

For resource pool servers assigned to farms, the system can monitor the following events:

• Availability of the primary Ethernet interface (ICMP ECHO or ping)

• CPU utilization

• Disk utilization

• RAM utilization

• Swap memory allocation

Refer to Chapter 4, Building, Updating, and Monitoring Server Farms, of the N1 Provisioning Server 3.1, Blades Edition, Control Center Management Guide for additional monitoring configuration information.
