IBM Tivoli Monitoring - iSeries Management Central monitor

Problem:
How to get events from System iSeries Navigator (Management Central).

In Management Central I've set a few metrics to monitor my iSeries server, e.g. "Disk Arm Utilization", "CPU Utilization" or "User Pool Faults".

On these metrics I've set thresholds when metrics get a bad value.


OK, but I would like to see these problems on IBM ITM.
How to do it?

 
Solution:
1. First, I have to set thresholds, as I've wrote above.

In Management Central, you can see this:

2. Next, in ITM I builded new situatuation:

iSeries - Check/Change maximum number of spooled records

Problem:
Sometimes you can get problem with jobs which have MSGW status.
In the job you can see message:

Message . . . . : Reached maximum number of spooled records for file QPRINT
in library QGPL. (C R NOMAX 1-999999)


Solution:
1. Check what is the number of spooled records.
On console type: CHGPRTF FILE(QPRINT) and next press F4 key, then F10 key.
Next Page Down key a few times where you can find position "Max spooled output records". You can change this value to bigger.


2. To change, you can use this command also:
On console type:
CHGPRTF FILE(QPRINT) MAXRCDS(1000000)
but before check that QPRINT object isn't loked:
WRKOBJLCK OBJ(QPRINT) OBJTYPE(*FILE)


Be careful - don't use *NOMAX value.
