Description of <strong>Status</strong><br />

1.1. Description of <strong>Status</strong><br />

Single Point <strong>Operations</strong> <strong>Status</strong> is an application of Single Point <strong>Operations</strong> that enables<br />

you to monitor the status of software and hardware components across multiple hosts,<br />

including OS 2200, MCP, UNIX, Windows, and other systems. The following illustration<br />

is an example of a <strong>Status</strong> display. Each row describes one component being monitored<br />

by <strong>Status</strong>.<br />

1.1.1. How <strong>Status</strong> Works<br />

Figure 1–1. Example of a <strong>Status</strong> Display<br />

<strong>Status</strong> maintains an inventory of components and their attributes based on an internal<br />

data model of component descriptions and attribute data associated with the<br />

components. The data model is populated and updated from messages and event data<br />

that are produced by the various systems being monitored.<br />

<strong>Status</strong> receives and processes attribute change and delete object event reports<br />

generated by the Single Point Autoaction Message System (SP-AMS), SMART<br />

Autoaction Message System (SMART AMS), ClearPath Plus Autoaction Message<br />

System (CP-AMS), UNIX Resource Monitor (URM) agent, and client applications. These<br />

event reports cause component information maintained and displayed by <strong>Status</strong> to be<br />

updated. For further information, see the Single Point <strong>Operations</strong> Administration and<br />

Configuration <strong>Guide</strong>.<br />

The following illustration shows the flow of data from various sources to Single Point<br />

<strong>Operations</strong> <strong>Status</strong>. Items inside the large box reside on the Single Point <strong>Operations</strong><br />

server, while items outside the large box reside on other systems. Event server<br />

application program interface (API) clients and user applications can reside on the Single<br />

Point <strong>Operations</strong> server or on monitored Windows and UNIX systems.<br />
