In the Service/Process Details pane, the following details are shown for each configured service and process:
  • The unique name that is assigned to the service or process
  • The status of the service or process
  • The host on which the process is running; this column is blank for services
  • The process identifier of a running process; this column is blank for services and processes that are not currently running

Within the Name column, the This figure shows the service icon in the Service/Process Details panel in Netcool/OMNIbus Administrator. icon shown to the left of a name identifies the entry as a service, and the This figure shows the process icon in the Service/Process Details panel in Netcool/OMNIbus Administrator. icon identifies the entry as a process.

Within the Status column, the status icon is depicted as a circle, and its color indicates whether the service or process is running:
  • Green: The service or process is running.
  • Blue: The service is marginal. Not all processes are running.
  • Yellow: The process is pending. The process is waiting for a time dependency to complete. This status can also indicate that the process has failed to start properly, regardless of any process dependencies.
  • Gray: The process is dead (not running) or the service has stopped.
  • Red: This identifies an error status level, which is an indication that a status level cannot be retrieved from the process agent.

  • Copy and paste a service or process within the same process agent, or across process agent hosts
  • Stop the process agent
  • Run an external action
  • Send a signal to a process
  • Save the process agent configuration file to disk
