monconfig(1m)monconfig(1m)NAME
- is a utility that allows a superuser to manage hardware event monitor
requests for EMS.
SYNOPSYS
/etc/opt/resmon/lbin/monconfig
DESCRIPTION
The utility can be used to List, Add, Modify, or Delete monitor
requests. The utility will also allow the user to enable or disable
monitor requests. A superuser can run at any time to configure monitor
requests.
Options
does not support any options.
Application Usage
This tool will be deprecated on new server models. Please use System
Management Homepage (see hpsmh(1M)).
EXAMPLES
The following example steps through creating a monitor request and
sending any alerts that are greater than or equal to (>=) "Major Warn‐
ings" to an EMAIL address.

======================================================================
Start of edit configuration:
A monitoring request consists of:
- A list of monitors to which it applies
- A severity range (A relational expression and a severity. For
example,
< "MAJOR WARNING" means events with severity "INFORMATION" and
"MINOR WARNING")
- A notification mechanism. Please answer the following questions to
specify a monitoring request.
Monitors to which this configuration can apply:
1) /storage/events/disk_arrays/AutoRAID
2) /storage/events/disks/default
3) /adapters/events/FC_adapter
4) /connectivity/events/hubs/FC_hub
5) /connectivity/events/multiplexors/FC_SCSI_mux
6) /system/events/memory
7) /storage/events/enclosures/ses_enclosure
8) /storage/events/tapes/SCSI_tape
9) /storage/events/disk_arrays/FW_SCSI
10) /storage/events/disk_arrays/High_Availability
Enter monitor numbers separated by commas

Are you sure you want to keep these changes?

When you press <Enter>, the new monitor request will be created and the
user will be returned to the Monitoring Request Manager Main Menu
screen.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
When you Add and/or Modify a monitor request, the following questions
will appear:
Criteria Thresholds
This selection will allow the user to select a triggering
level that will cause a monitor request to issue an alert.
Thresholds can be:
Critical - An event that will or has already caused data
loss, system down time, or other loss of service.
Immediate action is required to correct the problem.
System operation will be impacted and normal use of the
hardware should not continue until the problem is
corrected. If Service Guard is installed and this is a
critical component, it will perform a package
fail-over.
Serious - An event that may cause data loss, system down
time, or other loss of service if left uncorrected.
The problem should be repaired as soon as possible.
System operation and normal use of the hardware may
be impacted. If Service Guard is installed and this
is a critical component, it will perform a package
fail-over.
Major Warning - An event that could escalate to a more
serious condition if not corrected. The problem should
be repaired at a convenient time. System operation
should not be impacted and normal use of the hardware
can continue. If Service Guard is installed, it will
NOT perform a package fail-over.
Minor Warning - An event that will not likely escalate to a
more serious condition if let uncorrected. The problem
can be repaired at a convenient time. System operation
will not be interrupted and normal use of the hardware
can continue. If Service Guard is installed, it will
NOT perform a package fail-over.
Informational - An event that is expected as part of the
normal operation of the hardware. No action is
required. If Service Guard is installed, it will NOT
perform a package fail-over.
Criteria Operators
This selection will allow the user to select a relationship
to a Criteria Threshold that will cause a monitor request
to issue an alert. For example, if "greater than" is selected
for Minor Warning, the monitor request will issue alerts when
it identifies any problems that are greater than (more serious)
than a Minor Warning. Operators can be:
< (less than)
<= (less than or equal to)
> (greater than)
>= (greater than or equal than)
= (equal)
! (not equal to)
Notification Method
This selection will allow the user to select a location to
send an alert issued by a monitor request. Locations can be:
UDP - User Datagram Protocol (a host name and port number
will be requested)
TCP - Transmission Control Protocol (a host name and port
number will be requested)
OPC - OpenView Messaging Protocol (this selection is only
offered when OpenView Messaging is installed on the
system)
SNMP - Simple Network Management Protocol
TEXTLOG - A text file (path will be requested)
SYSLOG - The system log
EMAIL - An electronic mailbox address (email address will
be requested)
CONSOLE - The system console
FILES
/var/stm/data/tools/monitor/disabled_instances - file that lists
instances (devices) for which monitoring requests should NOT be created
by monconfigDEPENDENCIES
Event Monitoring Services (EMS) must be installed and running. You
must be a superuser.
