To begin monitoring a system, issue the Monitor utility MONITOR
    command.

                                   NOTE

       If you attempt to monitor a remote node that is
       incompatible, the system displays the following message:

       %MONITOR-E-SRVMISMATCH, MONITOR server on remote node is an
                               incompatible version

       If you receive this message, contact your VSI support
       representative for a remedial kit that corrects this
       problem.

       Before you install the remedial kit, you can still use
       MONITOR to obtain data about the remote node. To do this,
       record the data on the remote node, and then run the MONITOR
       playback feature to examine the data on the local node.

    Generally, each MONITOR request runs until the time specified or
    implied by the /ENDING qualifier. To exit from MONITOR, enter the
    EXIT command at the MONITOR> prompt or press Ctrl/Z. To terminate
    a MONITOR request without exiting from the utility, press Ctrl/C.

    Information that MONITOR collect is usually displayed as ASCII
    screen images. You can use the optional /DISPLAY qualifier to
    specify a disk file to contain the information. If you omit the
    file specification, output is directed to SYS$OUTPUT. See the
    Monitor utility MONITOR command for a discussion of the /DISPLAY
    qualifier.

    You can also initiate MONITOR requests from command level by
    entering the DCL command MONITOR with the desired qualifiers and
    parameters. However, in terms of conserving system resources, it
    is preferable to initiate requests in response to the MONITOR>
    prompt.
