5.1 Opening the Resources Monitor

Now that you have installed an Orchestration Server and launched the Orchestration Console, you can begin to create resource accounts.

  1. Open the Orchestration Console and click Resources to open the Resources Monitor in the admin view of the Orchestration Console.

From this monitor, you can see the resources that are connected to the server and what they are doing in the grid.

If an agent is installed but has not been registered (that is, no account is created for it), it attempts a server login every 90 seconds. If this is the case (as in the figure above), the Resource Registration icon has a “flag up” status, meaning that an agent is waiting to register. If the icon has a “flag down” status, either no Orchestration Agents have been installed in the network or all active agents are logged in, so none are waiting to register.

The Resources Monitor has many features to help you manage resources when they are registered, including the jobs and joblets assigned to individual resources. For more detailed information about the Resources Monitor, see “Monitoring Server Resources” in the NetIQ Cloud Manager 2.1.5 Orchestration Administrator Reference.
