System Monitoring

In addition to the transaction, program, or job execution monitoring provided through ART Test Manager agents, ART Test Manager also provides system level monitoring for the remote test machine. System monitoring provides a remote interface for monitoring test machines using system monitoring tools specified by the users. This function can be accessed from the dropdown menu at upper right of the window.

The first step in the System Monitoring view is to add the system to be monitored. To add the host and start monitoring specify host name and ssh port, user name and password, then click “Add” button. Each system added is represented by a tab. A Delete drop down menu is provided to allow deleting systems no longer required.

After clicking on the tab for a specific system, the two pane view is presented. The control pane on the left is where the refresh interval is specified and monitoring commands are entered.

For example, in the figure above the Interval is set to 2, and monitoring commands “top” and “vmstat” are specified. After clicking “Apply” button in the lower right corner of the control pane the output pane on the right will show the output of the monitoring commands and is refreshed based on the interval setting. In the figure below, the Interval has been changed to three seconds and “iostat” command added to “top” and “vmstat” from the previous example.
