Monitors Page Overview – meshIQ

The Monitors page provides a centralized view of all monitored resources within your environment. Users can quickly identify which resources are actively observed, their current evaluation frequency, and real-time statuses. Presented in a clear and concise table format, this information helps users proactively detect and address potential system issues, ensuring reliable and efficient operations.

To access the Monitors page, select Monitors from the left-side menu.

This page allows you to:

Create new monitors
View monitor status and severity
Analyze corresponding metric trends

To learn more about managing columns, refer to Customizing the Interface in Observe.

Filters and Toggles

Monitor Table – Column Descriptions

Column Name	Description
Monitor Name	The name assigned to the monitor. This is a user-defined value used to identify the monitor in the system.
Category	Specifies the middleware type the monitor is associated with (e.g., Kafka, IBM MQ, Solace, WGS, ACE, EMS, IIB, ActiveMQ, JMX-KAFKA, STREAM-JMX, or RabbitMQ).
Type	Defines the specific object being monitored. This varies depending on the selected category (e.g., Topic, Broker, Listener, Queue).
Status	Indicates the current operational state of the monitor. Scheduled: The monitor is active, and the current time is before the scheduled start time. Running: The monitor is active, and the current time is between the schedule's start and end time. Completed: The monitor is active, and the current time is after the scheduled end time. Disabled: The monitor is inactive (disabled) and will not execute. Invalid: The effective query associated with the monitor cannot be generated, or a schedule is assigned but does not exist (see the Exception field for the exact reason). Unscheduled: No schedule is associated with the monitor yet. No Resource: No resource selectors are associated with the monitor. Note: If a monitor is disabled or its status changes from “Running,” its active alerts are removed automatically, giving you a clean start on reactivation.
Severity	Displays the last triggered alert’s severity level for the monitor. The monitor supports multiple severity levels, such as Critical, Error, Warning, Success, and Info. If no rule has matched yet, this field remains empty.
Tags	User-defined labels used to filter monitors. Multiple tags can be applied for better organization.
Schedule	Indicates whether a schedule is configured for the monitor. Clicking the icon opens the View Schedule dialog with details about monitor execution timing.
Notification	Indicates whether alert notifications are configured. Clicking the icon opens the View Notification Policy dialog where the associated notification policy is displayed.
Resource Group	Represents the logical grouping of data sources or components associated with the monitor. Clicking the icon opens the View Resource Group dialog, where the resource group details can be viewed.
Metric Trends	Provides a graphical view of recent metric data for the selected monitor. Clicking the icon opens the Metric Trends dialog. For more details, see Metric Trends.
