Using the Enterprise Monitor
The Enterprise Monitor displays a line for each monitored system. For example, the following Enterprise Monitor is monitoring four systems:

The Enterprise Monitor displays the following information for each system:
-
Bar graph—Indicates the status of the configuration items of the production. The green, red, and yellow indicate the percentage of the items in each state. Green indicates the items that are active and running correctly; yellow indicates the items that are inactive; and red indicates the items that have encountered an error. If you hover over the bar graph, the pop-up text displays the number of items in each state.
-
Client Name—Name defined by the applicable client configuration.
-
Queued—Specifies the total number of messages currently waiting in queues. If you have set the queue threshold and the number of messages exceeds the threshold, the number is displayed in red. If the number exceeds 85% of the threshold, it is displayed in yellow. If the number is below 85% of the threshold, it is displayed in green. If no threshold is specified, the queue number is displayed in black.
-
Status—Indicates the status of the productions: running, stopped, suspended, or troubled.
-
Production Name—Displays the production name. If you click on this link, the Enterprise Monitor opens the Production Configuration page on this system.
-
System Management Portal—Displays the system name and namespace of the system. If you click on this link, the Enterprise Monitor opens the InterSystems IRIS management portal on the system.
-
Start Time—Displays the date and time that the InterSystems IRIS instance was started if it is currently running.
-
UpdateReason—Specifies the reason that the production configuration was last updated.
-
WebIPAddress—Specifies the system name and port number.
-
Namespace—Specifies the namespace of the system.
If you click on an item in the Enterprise Monitor that is not a link, the Enterprise Monitor displays the production monitor for that system. For information on the Production Monitor, see Monitoring a Production.
For information on starting and stopping productions, see Managing Productions. Note that for a live, deployed production, InterSystems recommends that you use the auto-start option.
If a production is Suspended or Troubled, see Correcting Production Problem States.
