Monitoring the HCL Workload Automation processes

You can monitor the following processes:

• agent
• appservman
• batchman
• jobman
• mailman
• monman
• netman

The .XML file contains the definition of a sample event rule to monitor the status of the specified processes on the specified workstation. This event rule calls the MessageLogger action provider to write a message in a log file in an internal auditing database. If the condition described in the rule is already existing when you deploy the rule, the related event is not generated. For more information about the MessageLogger action provider, MessageLogger actions:

<eventRule name="PROCESSES" ruleType="filter" isDraft="no">
	<eventCondition name="twsProcMonEvt1" eventProvider="TWSApplicationMonitor"
 eventType="TWSProcessMonitor">
			<scope>
				AGENT, BATCHMAN DOWN
			</scope>
			<filteringPredicate>
				<attributeFilter name="ProcessName" operator="eq">
					<value>process_name1</value>
				</attributeFilter>
				<attributeFilter name="TWSPath" operator="eq">

				</attributeFilter>
				<attributeFilter name="Workstation" operator="eq">

			</filteringPredicate>
		</eventCondition>
		<action actionProvider="MessageLogger" actionType="MSGLOG" responseType="onDetection">
