SIMS polls each component periodically to determine its current state. The System Components on the Administration Console home page (FIGURE 2-2) displays the current state of each component. TABLE 2-3 outlines the possible SIMS component states.

If the System Components indicates that a component is in either an alert or down state, you can access more information from the following sources:
|
|
The System Status section on the Admin Console home page. Each entry indicates the time at which the component was polled, the component status, and more detailed information about if the component is in either an alert or down state. |
| If the Internet Message Transfer Agent (IMTA) is in an alert or down state, you should also check the status of each IMTA channel. For more information, refer to "Monitoring Channel Status" on page 101. |
|
|
By using the Log Manager. For more information, refer to "Event Log Manager" on page 248. |
Note - The Stop all function on the home page does not stop the SIMS LDAP Directory Service, slapd, so the SUN Directory Services icon will not have red X over it if you execute this procedure (see "To Stop SIMS Components" on page 54).
