A monitor group is used to associate one or more related monitor definitions. An example of how to use this view can be found in Monitoring programs in multiple CICS systems.
To display information about existing monitor groups, issue the command:
MONGROUP [mongroup]
where mongroup is a specific or generic name of a monitor group. If you omit this parameter, the view, illustrated in Figure 63, includes information about all monitor groups within the current context.

Table 40 summarizes the action commands you can use with the MONGROUP view. Table 41 identifies the overtype field you can modify when you use the SET action command.
Primary command | Line command | Description |
---|---|---|
n/a | ADD | Add an association between a monitor group and a monitor specification, as described in topic Adding an association to a monitor specification. |
n/a | ASC | Add an association between a monitor definition and a monitor group, as described in topic Associating a monitor definition with a monitor group. |
n/a | BRO | Browse a monitor group in the data repository.
The format of the resulting panel is similar to that shown in Figure 64. The panel fields are not modifiable. |
CREate | CRE | Create a monitor group and add it to the data repository, as described in topic Creating a monitor group. |
n/a | INS | Install the monitor definitions associated with a monitor group into a CICS® system or CICS system group, as described in topic Installing a monitor group. |
n/a | MAP | Display a visual map of resource monitoring definitions using the specified group as a starting point. |
n/a | REM | Remove a monitor group from the data repository. (Any associations that exist between monitor definitions and that monitor group are also removed.) |
n/a | REP | Replace all installed monitor definitions with those associated
with a monitor group.
The format of the resulting panel is similar to the one produced by the INS action command, as illustrated in Figure 67. REP causes a two-step operation to be performed. First, all installed monitor definitions are discarded and all accumulated monitoring data relating to those monitor definitions is deleted. Then, CICSPlex® SM attempts to install the monitor definitions associated with the designated monitor group. |
n/a | SET | Change a monitor group description using an overtype field
(see Table 41).
Note:
The value you specified
in the Require Set field on the CICSPlex System Manager entry panel determines whether or
not you must use the SET command when you overtype a field. |
TEMPMP cmasid | n/a | Change the temporary maintenance point CMAS to a specific CMAS or display a selection list based on a generic CMAS ID. |
n/a | UPD | Update a monitor group in the data repository.
The format of the resulting panel is similar to that shown in Figure 64. You can change the Description field. |
Field name | Value |
---|---|
Monitor Group Description | One- to 30-character description of the monitor group. |
Table 42 shows the hyperlink field on the MONGROUP view.
Hyperlink field | View displayed | Description |

Monitor Group | MONINGRP | Detailed information about the associations that exist between the designated monitor group and monitor definitions. |
Figure 64 shows the format of the panel produced when you use the create primary (CREate) or line (CRE) action command from the MONGROUP view.
----------------------- Create Monitor Group for EYUPLX01 --------------------- COMMAND ===> Group Name ===> Description ===> Test monitor group Press Enter to create Monitor Group. Type END or CANCEL to cancel without creating.
Provide the following information, as appropriate:
Press Enter to add the monitor group to the data repository.
Figure 65 illustrates the panel produced when you use the add (ADD) line action command from the MONGROUP view.
----------------------- Add Group to Specification for EYUPLX01 --------------- COMMAND ===> Monitor Group Name EYUMOG01 Description Sample monitor group Specification name ===> EYUMOS01 Specification Name or Generic Press Enter to add Monitor Group to Specification. Type END or CANCEL to cancel without adding.
Provide the following information:
Press Enter to associate a monitor group with the designated monitor specification in the data repository.
If a monitor specification appropriate for this monitor group does not currently exist, you must first create one, as described in topic Creating a monitor specification. You can then use the ADD action command described in topic Adding a monitor group to a monitor specification to associate the monitor group with that specification.
Figure 66 illustrates the panel produced when you use the associate (ASC) line action command from the MONGROUP view.
---------------- Add Monitor Definition to Group for EYUPLX01 ----------------- COMMAND ===> Monitor Group Name EYUMOG01 Description Sample monitor group Monitor Definition Name ===> EYUMOD01 Monitor Definition or Generic Active Period ===> EYUMOD01 Period Definition or Generic Press Enter to add Monitor Definition to Group. Type END or CANCEL to cancel without adding.
Provide the following information, as appropriate:
If the name you specify does not belong to an existing period definition, you can create that period definition later. If you leave this field blank, the monitor definition remains active for as long as the CICS system is running, or until you discard it.
Press Enter to associate the monitor definition with the monitor group in the data repository.
When you install a monitor group, all of the monitor definitions associated with that group are installed in the CICS systems that are using the monitor specification to which the monitor group is associated. Before attempting to install a monitor group, you should review the requirements described in Activating resource monitoring.
The monitor definitions associated with a monitor group can be automatically installed in a CICS system when that system starts. For this to occur, the monitor group must be associated with a monitor specification that is defined to the CICS system.
Figure 67 illustrates the panel produced when you use the install (INS) line action command from the MONGROUP view.
--------------------- Install Monitor Group for EYUPLX01 ---------------------- COMMAND ===> Name EYUMOG01 Description Sample monitor group Scope ===> CICS System, Group or Generic Press Enter to install definitions. Type END or CANCEL to cancel without installing.
Provide the following information:
Press Enter to install the monitor definitions associated with the monitor group into the designated CICS system or into all of the CICS systems associated with the designated CICS system group.
When one or more monitor definitions associated with the monitor group you install:
Finally, you can use the MONACTV view, as indicated in Table 3, to deactivate an installed monitor definition.
