14.2 Graphical utility

The IS monitor application can be used to see the contents of all the valid IS servers in all the valid IPC partitions in interactive mode. It has no parameters and can be started by executing the following command:

> is_monitor

Figure 14.1 shows the main window of the IS Monitor.

Figure 14.1   IS Monitor main window

The numbers in the Figure 14.1 mark the main control elements of the IS monitor's interface:

1. Exit - exits the IS monitor.
2. Show info list - creates new window with the information for the IS server selected in "4.".
3. Select partition - select IPC partition in which to show the valid IS servers.
4. List of IS servers - shows valid IS servers for the selected partition.

Using the IS monitor one can select a partition and an IS server in this partition. Then by pressing the "Show Info List" button one can open a new window which shows the information in the selected IS server. This window is dynamically updated whenever the information is changed in the IS server. One can open several such windows either for the same or for different IS servers. Figure 14.2 shows an example of the IS monitor information window.
