Configuration - Introduction
This section provides step-by-step instructions for configuring
BW Monitor. You configure
BW Monitor by editing
property files,
executing scripts and using a Configuration Utility.
Property
files are
located in your
project directory. Example default settings are
provided in the rtvapm/bwmon/projects/sample directory. For details about properties
and configuration files, see
BW Monitor Properties. For details about scripts, see
BW Monitor Scripts.
At this
point you have:
Configuring the BW
Monitor
There are four main parts to configuring the BW Monitor, which must be
completed in the following order:
| |
Configure BW Servers: Define the BW Servers to
be monitored. This step must be performed before running any deployment of BW
Monitor. |
| |
|
| |
Configure RTView Servers: Configure the RTView Servers.
The
BW Monitor can be deployed as a desktop application or as a browser application,
configuration properties are set according to the type of deployment chosen.
See Deployment for information. |
| |
|
| |
Configure the Database:
Configure the database.
The
BW Monitor is delivered with a default memory resident HSQLDB database, which
is suitable in evaluation situations. However in production deployments, you
should install and configure one of the supported databases. |
| |
|
| |
Configure Alert Notification: Configure
automated alert actions, for example, configure an
alert to send an email alert. |
Initializing a
Command Prompt or Terminal Window
To start any RTView process (Data
Server, Historian, Viewer and so forth),
you must first initialize a command line window on the host.
UNIX scripts are Bourne shell compatible. To initialize a
command line window, execute the
rtvapm_init script. For example:
Windows
Go to your BW Monitor installation directory and type:
rtvapm_init
UNIX
The script used to initialize a terminal window depends on whether you are
in csh or rsh (e.g. Linux, Mac OS X). With a Bourne shell, open a terminal
window, go to your BW Monitor installation directory and type:
.
./rtvapm_init.sh
