A resource is a specific component of your configuration. A resource can be:

  • A database or database log file
  • A system resource, such as CPU, memory, disk, or file system
  • A network resource, such as TCP or UDP port, Ping (ICMP), or HTTP communication
  • A file resource, such as a log file or other file you identify for monitoring
  • An OpenEdge server component, such as a NameServer, or WebSpeed Transaction Server
  • DataServer for Oracle and MS SQL Server
  • AppServer Internet Adapter
  • SonicMQ Adapter
  • Web Services Adapter
  • OE Web Server
  • WebSpeed Messenger
  • Progress Application Server for OpenEdge (PAS for OpenEdge)
Note: OpenEdge Management supports monitoring and managing the WebSpeed Transaction Server product. Throughout this guide, references to the WebSpeed Transaction Server and WebSpeed are used interchangeably.

When you install OpenEdge Management, resource monitors for your CPU resource and memory resource are automatically created and assigned default values, which you can change. OpenEdge Management also creates monitors for the following resources registered with the AdminServer: databases, NameServers, and WebSpeed Transaction Servers.

OpenEdge Management neither creates resource monitors for nor supports monitoring of the following resources: AppServer Internet Adapters, DataServers (Oracle, MS SQL Server), SonicMQ Adapters, WebSpeed Messengers, OE Web Server, or Web Services Adapters. You can, however, set and modify property settings for these resources, as well as for databases, NameServers, and WebSpeed Transaction Servers. You can also start and stop them (if applicable) or view their log files. For more information, see Configure OpenEdge Components with OpenEdge Management.
