How to Read This Manual

Your InfoHub distribution has three parts – the InfoHub Product, Reference Implementation examples developed using the InfoHub Product, and an SNMP Reporting Adaptor. To set up InfoHub to monitor GT.M, read the following sections in the specified order– InfoHub Overview, InfoHub Concepts, InfoHub Tasks, Appendix A: FIS GT.M SNMP Plugin, and Appendix B: Reference Implementations. These sections help you understand the basics of InfoHub and customize Reference Implementation examples.

To use InfoHub to build a general-purpose monitoring and alerting application, read the following sections in the specified order–InfoHub Overview, InfoHub Concepts, InfoHub Tasks, Appendix A: FIS GT.M SNMP Plugin, Appendix B: Reference Implementations, and Configuring an InfoHub. Also, go through the M code of all the reference implementation example gleaners and review their Configuration files to understand how they manage monitoring and alerting.

Notes marked as InfoHub Internals are meant for those who plan to support InfoHub or develop a fairly advanced understanding of InfoHub. Other readers can skip the InfoHub Internals notes.

If you are in a hurry and just want to see a quick demonstration of how InfoHub works, proceed directly to the Uptime and Log File Monitoring Reference Implementation section and follow the step-by-step installation instructions provided in that section.
