Set Up the Real-Time Monitoring of CI Property Changes
For a limited number of CIs, Dashboard can monitor for changes to the CI properties (or changes to the properties of the CI's child CIs) in real-time.
This information is in addition to the Dashboard Change Report, which shows a historical report on changes to properties for CIs over a period of time. For details on the Change Report, click here.
To display real-time changes for a CI and its children, the Monitor changes check box must be selected for that CI in the KPIs tab.
If you then clear the option for one or more of the configured CIs, the option becomes available again for all CIs, until the 20 CIs limit is again reached.
Note: To change the 20 limit, select Admin > Platform > Setup and Maintenance > Infrastructure Settings, click Applications, select Dashboard Application, and locate the Maximum monitored CIs entry in the Change Impact Properties table. Modify the value as required. However, change this value with caution to avoid overload on the system.
When the monitor changes option has been set for a CI, Dashboard continuously monitors that CI and all its child CIs, to see if a change occurs in one of the significant properties defined for the CIs.
The significant properties vary for each CIT, according to the CIT definition in Admin > CMDB > CI Type Manager. In CI Type Manager, in the Attributes tab for the CIT, the Change Monitored column must be selected for a property, in order for that property to be significant and therefore monitored. For more information on CIT definitions, click here.
If a change occurs in one of the significant properties for the CI or the CI children, then an icon is displayed in Dashboard beside the CI name. For more information, click here.
After a change occurs, the change icon is displayed for 24 hours (default value). You can change the default value. For details, click here.
