The Monitors field located in the upper right corner of the Work with Application Groups display summarizes the status of the MIMIX monitors on the local system. Each node or system in the product configuration has MIMIX monitors which run on that system to check for specific potential problems. A status of *ACTIVE indicates that all enabled monitors on the local system are active.

The following table shows possible status values for the Monitors field that require user action. For a complete list of possible values, press F1 (Help).
