Q: What is PTP System Monitoring?

PTP System Monitoring is a perspective within the PTP workbench that allows display of jobs and their location on the target system. See the PTP online help.

PTP System Monitoring is also available as a stand-alone executable, PTP "SysMon", staring with Eclipse PTP Kepler release - PTP 7.0 (release scheduled for Jun 2013). For pre-release Kepler downloads including the SysMon executable, see the PTP Kepler download page

To start a monitor, in the System Monitoring Perspective (or in Sysmon) create a new monitor in the upper-left 'Monitors' view. To refresh a monitor, select it and hit the refresh button. Monitors are refreshed automatically ever approx. 60 seconds.

Q: What target systems are supported by PTP system monitoring?

See Running programs in the PTP online help, which include a list of available target system configurations, some general, and some specific.

== Q: Where is system monitoring information stored on the remote target?

In the home directory of the userid used to connect with PTP, a directory ".eclipsesettings" is created.

Q: How do I debug?

In the ".eclipsesettings" directory, create a file named ".LML_da_options" and add a single line "keeptmp=1". Then refresh the monitor, or wait for it to refresh itself. On the target system, a new directory is created under .eclipsesettings that begins with "tmp". Information in this directory is useful to sysmon developers, so you may be asked to zip it up and send it. Be sure to remove the "keeptmp=1" line fro .LML_da_options, since it will continue to make a new dir at each monitor refresh.

== Q: How do i specify a custom layout file to determine how the frames, drawers, nodes, etc. are drawn on my remote target system?

Layout files are in .eclipsesettings/samples directory. More info here.
