Monitoring and reporting tool
PCC monitors the system and reports on its health and activity. PCC provides reports on:
• system health (status)
• system performance
• smart cell states
Hosts in the system (and their services) are organized into groups of the same t ype, called host groups.
For example, to look at all hosts of type smart cell, display the status of the host group Smart Cells.
PCC refers to the behind-the-scenes monitoring functions and the user interface reporting the findings. In
both roles, the system uses software provided by Nagios, h
ttp://www.nagios.org. (PCC is part of the
system it monitors, so it monitors itself, as well. See "Nagios folder" on page 66.)
