console is installed, and is the web console port number that you specified during
installation. You should also specify a valid user ID and password.

logins to the web console server. If the Save password option is not selected, you must
enter your user ID and password every time that a health monitoring feature is launched.

You can open the various health monitoring tasks from either the Data Studio client Task
Launcher, from a selected database in the Administration Explorer, or from the
Administration Explorer view toolbar, as shown in Figure 4.20.
When you open the Health Monitor from the Administration Explorer, the health of the
selected database is displayed. When you open the Health Monitor from an application
connection, table space usage, or utility task in the Task Launcher, its parent database is
already selected on the Monitor page.
