Disabling an individual resource monitor prevents any monitoring activities from occurring for that resource. When a resource is disabled using this procedure, all resource polling, alert generation, and information trending cease. Resource monitors that are currently disabled are easily identified in the management console. A gray Resource Status icon precedes the resource's name when the resource appears in the list frame.

The method used to disable resources depends on whether the resource is a system, network, or file resource, or a database or an OpenEdge server resource.

  • To disable a system, network, or file resource monitor:
    1. Click Resources > Go to Resources in the OpenEdge Management console menu.
      All resources managed by your console appear in the grid frame.
    2. Filter or search for, and select the resource whose alerts you want to disable.
    3. Click Edit at the top of the resource details page.
      The Properties section appears.
    4. Clear the Enabled check box.
    5. Click Save.
      When you refresh the the resources grid frame, the color of the status icon for the disabled resource in the Status column changes to gray.
  • To disable other OpenEdge resource monitors:
    1. Click Resources on the management console menu bar.
    2. From the list of resources, click the Edit icon to go to the details page for the resource whose monitoring you want to disable.
    3. Click Control or Broker Control (depending on the resource) in the Command and Control section.The Resource Control page appears.
    4. Click Edit. Clear the Enabled check box to disable the database resource.
    5. Click Save. When you refresh the list frame, the color of the status icon for the disabled resource in the Status column changes to gray.
