You can use the Service/Process Details pane
in Netcool/OMNIbus Administrator
to view details of the processes and services that are configured
for a process agent, and to manage these processes and services.
About this task
To view the processes and services that are configured for
a process agent, perform either of the following actions:
Procedure
- If not already connected, connect to the process agent
by using Netcool/OMNIbus Administrator. On successful connection, the Service/Process
Details pane opens by default.
- If you are already connected to the process agent, but
the Service/Process Details pane is not currently
on display, click the Status icon in the Configuration
window for the process agent, to view this pane.
Results
In the
Service/Process Details pane,
the following details are shown for each configured service and process:
- The unique name that is assigned to the service or process
- The status of the service or process
- The host on which the process is running; this column is blank for services
- The process identifier of a running process; this column is blank for
services and processes that are not currently running
Within the Name column,
the
icon shown to the left of a name identifies
the entry as a service, and the
icon identifies the entry as a process. Processes
are also grouped by the service under which they run, and process names are
shown in the following format:
service_name:process_name
For example: Core:MasterObjectServer
Within the
Status column,
the status icon is depicted as a circle, and its color indicates whether the
service or process is running:
- Green: The service or process is running.
- Blue: The service is marginal. Not all processes are running.
- Yellow: The process is pending. The process is waiting for a time dependency
to complete. This status can also indicate that the process has failed to
start properly, regardless of any process dependencies.
- Gray: The process is dead (not running) or the service has stopped.
- Red: This identifies an error status level, which is an indication that
a status level cannot be retrieved from the process agent.
From the
Service/Process
Details pane, you can manage processes and services for the selected
process agent in the following ways:
- Create or edit a service
- Create or edit a process
- Delete a selected service or process
- Start a selected service or process
- Stop a selected service or process
- Copy and paste a service or process within the same process agent, or
across process agent hosts
- Stop the process agent
- Run an external action
- Send a signal to a process
- Save the process agent configuration file to disk
