Sun Identity Manager 8.1 System Administrator's Guide

Using Identity Manager System Monitoring

You can configure Identity Manager system monitoring to track system events. System monitoring collects and aggregates statistics at various levels to present a real-time view of system events, based on your specifications.

Viewing this information in dashboard graphs enables you to quickly assess system resources, view abnormalities, understand historical performance trends, and interactively isolate problems before looking at audit logs. Although dashboards do not provide as much detail as audit logs, dashboards can indicate where to look for problems in the logs.

For more information about dashboards and system monitoring, see Chapter 8, Reporting, in Sun Identity Manager 8.1 Business Administrator’s Guide.
