Monitoring and repor ting
PCC monitors the system and reports on its health and activity. PCC provides reports on:
• system health
• system performance
• smart cell states
Hosts in the system (and their services) are organized into groups of the same type, called host groups.
For example, to view all smart cell hosts, display the status of the host group SMARTCELL Servers in
the System Status view.
Hosts and services are monitored by polling, which is set up outside the PCC, in System Insight Manager.
You can selectively enable or disable hosts and services polling.
As long as services appear to be functioning correctly (OK), the host is assumed to be healthy (UP). If
monitoring indicates a host is not functioning correctly (DOWN), none of its services are available
(they can have any status except OK). If a ser vice has CRITICAL status, but the host is UP, the service
probably needs to be restarted.
Statuses and states
Several P
CC views show current life cycle states of smart cells or status values of particular hosts or
services. Status values measure relative health, and can be associated with a status condition conveying
ameasureofconfidence in the reported value.
For example, the health of a smart cell in the SUSPENDED life cycle state can be reported with the
HEALTHY h
ost status value, which means the RISS operating system and applications a re functioning as
they should be.
PCC views often use status and state loosely and interchangeably when referring to hosts and services.
State is always used when referring to smart cell life cycle states, but status and state are both used when
reporti
ng smart cell health, since smart cells are regarded as a host like any other . PCC views also
refer to
status conditions as states or state types.

The cell is available for document storage, search, and
retrieval. If backup is enabled, cell data can be backed
up.
