Monitor Status Dialog Controls
The Monitor examines console output for user defined events. When an event is detected the Monitor passes event response information to the Broker to be executed.
A Monitor process is started automatically for each resource started from the Launch/Status Manager. Monitor status can be obtained for a resource by clicking the resource name in the Active Resource List then clicking the Monitor Status button. All actions taken on the Monitor Status dialog will take affect on the selected resource.
