The Monitors Hierarchy

By default, the Application Center Setup program creates a collection of monitors that are synchronized across the cluster. As we indicated in Chapter 7, "Monitoring," the Health Monitor node represents the top of the monitoring hierarchy.

The next level is All Monitored Computers, which lists all the computers that Health Monitor has information for, which by default is the server that you're currently logged on to. You can add additional computers to this view (right-click the node, and then on the pop-up menu, click Connect to another computer) provided that you have sufficient privileges.

The third level of the hierarchy lists specific computers by name. By default, the name of the server that you're currently logged on to or have made a connection to in the Application Center snap-in will appear here. You can expand this level, represented by localsystem in Figure 9.6, to reveal the actions and monitors that are available after Application Center is installed on a server.

Figure 9.6 shows the entire monitors hierarchy and identifies the Data Groups (DG) and Data Collectors (DC) that are installed.

NOTE


The Sample Monitors collection is only available if you do a custom installation and choose to install the samples. However, you can install these monitors after the initial set up by running the Application Center Setup program, and then, in the Setup dialog box, clicking Modify. For more information about these additional monitors, see "The Sample Monitors" later in this chapter.
