Installing and Using Monitors

Adding a Monitoring Request

new hardware will be included in event monitoring.

If you add a new class of supported hardware resource to your system, any monitoring requests that apply to All monitors are used for the new hardware, ensuring that your hardware is protected immediately from undetected failure.

For hardware monitoring to recognize new devices, the new devices must be properly added and configured, so that they are recognized by the kernel (ioscan must see them).

Table 2-14 Monitoring Requests Configuration Settings

Setting	Description

Criteria	This value identifies the severity level used in conjunction with the
Thresholds	criteria operator to generate an event message. See Table 2-15 on
	page 41, for an explanation of severity levels.

Criteria	This value identifies the arithmetic operator used with the criteria
Operators	threshold to control what events are reported. Valid operators are:
	< (less than)
	<= (less than or equal to)
	> (greater than)
	>= (greater than or equal than)
	! (not equal to)
	Operators treat each severity level as a numeric value assigned as
	follows:
	Critical = 5
	Serious = 4
	Major warning = 3
	Minor warning = 2
	Informational = 1
	The criteria operators allow you to direct events of several severity
	levels using the same notification method. For example, to direct both
	Serious and Critical events using the same method, you would use a
	condition of >= Serious.
