Adding a Monitoring Request

Adding a Monitoring Request

Adding a monitoring request is a convenient way to add another notification method for a monitor. Each new notification method requires its own monitoring request.

Monitoring requests can only be added at the monitor level, which creates an identical request for all instances of the hardware resources supported by the monitor. Monitoring requests cannot be added for a specific hardware instance. An “A(ll)” option allows you to add a monitoring request for all monitors in one operation.

NOTE

Using the “All monitors” option when creating a request has the benefit of applying the request

 

to a new class of supported hardware resource that you may add to your system. This ensures

 

that the new hardware is automatically included in your monitoring strategy.

 

 

To add a monitoring request:

1.Run the Hardware Monitoring Request Manager by typing:

/etc/opt/resmon/lbin/monconfig

2.From the main menu selection prompt, enter A.

3.At the Monitors selection prompt, enter the number assigned to the monitor for which you are creating a request. The numbers for the monitors are listed on the screen. You can enter multiple numbers separated by commas, or you can enter “a” to create a request for all monitors.

4.At the Criteria Threshold prompt, enter the number for the desired severity level. See Table 2-15 on page 41.

5.At the Criteria Operator prompt, enter the number for the desired operator. See Table 2-14 on page 40.

6.At the Notification Method prompt, enter the number for the desired method. See Table 2-14 on page 40. If the notification method you selected requires you to input additional information, do so when promoted.

7.At the User Comment prompt, enter any comments about this monitoring request that you desire. This text will be sent with events which match this monitoring request. This feature is NEW, as of the June 2000 release.

8.At the Client Configuration File prompt, enter (C)lear to use the default client configuration file, or enter A(dd) to specify the name of a specific client configuration file for this request. This file allows you to enable/disable events, set thresholding criteria and severity levels for events on a per-client basis (for example, for Predictive Support). Adding a client configuration file at this prompt does not create or edit the file; it merely sets up the monitoring request to use the file. Unless you have a specific client that requires a client configuration file, choose (C)lear (the default). This feature is NEW, as of the June 2000 release. It is only valid for monitors that are Multiple-View (Predictive-Enabled).

9.Save the request when prompted.

Repeat the above steps for each new monitoring request.

NOTE

Are monitoring requests automatically applied to new hardware resources?

 

Because monitoring requests are created at the monitor level and not at the hardware instance

 

level, a new hardware resource added to the system inherits the same monitoring requests

 

assigned to other hardware of the same type. This ensures that new hardware is automatically

 

added to the monitoring configuration. When you restart the system or perform an ioscan, the
