About Monitor Alert Sources

The monitor tree (Monitoring > Monitor Tree) displays a visual representation of the status of all monitored components. Any node in the Monitor Tree can be monitored with a monitor alert source.

A monitor alert source uses escalations to raise alerts when a monitored component reaches a specific severity. For example, a monitor alert source can raise an alert if the host running the RunMyJobs server is running out of swap space, or a Queue is held.

Note: When you monitor a node, you also monitor all of its children. You can monitor the entire system by monitoring the root /System/ monitor node.
