The monitor specification associated with a CICS® system determines:
- Whether resource monitoring is to be active when the CICS system starts
- How long collected data is to be retained after monitoring stops
- The sample interval to be used for one or more resource types
You can override any of the attributes defined in a monitor specification
by changing the definition of the CICS system that is to use that specification.
This might occur when, for example, multiple CICS systems are using the same monitor
specification and you want the data retention period to be different for one
of those systems. To
override the monitor specification for a specific CICS system, you can use the views:
CICS system definition (CICSSYS)
To permanently override part or all of a monitor specification. Values
changed via this view are stored in the data repository and used every time the CICS system starts.
(For additional information about using this EUI view command, see the CICSPlex® System Manager Administration book.)
Runtime MAS display (MAS)
To temporarily override all or part of the monitor specification currently
being used by an active CICS system. Values affected by this view remain in effect
as long as the CICS system is running or until you change them. (For additional
information about the EUI MAS view command, see the CICSPlex System Manager Administration book.)
