Monitoring and reporting
PCC monitors t
he system and reports on its health and activity. PCC provides reports on:
• system health
• system performance
• smart cell sta
tes
Hosts in the system (and their ser vices) are organized into groups of the same type, called host groups.
For example, to view all sm art cell hosts, display the status of the host group SMA RTCE LL Servers in
the System Status vie w.
As long as ser
vices appear to be functioning correctly (OK), the host is assumed to be healthy (UP). If
monitoring i
ndicates a host is not functioning correctly (DOWN), none of its services are available
(they can ha
ve any status except OK) . If a service has CRITICAL status, but the host is UP, the service
probably needs to be restarted.
Statuses and states
Several PCC views show current life cycle states of smart cells or status values of particular hosts or
services. Status values m e asure relative health, and can be associated with a status c ondition 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 host status value, which means the IAP operating system and applications are functioning as
they should be.
PCC views often use status and state loosely and interchangeably when referring to hosts and services.
State is alway s used when referring to smart cell life cycle states, but status and state are both used when
reporting smart cell health, since smart cells are regarded as a host like a ny other. PCC views also
refertostatusconditionsasstatesorstatetypes.
