Hardware Monitor Configuration Files

Monitor Configuration Files

File Names

Global configuration file: /var/stm/config/tools/monitor/Global.cfg

The file naming convention for the startup configuration files is:

/var/stm/config/tools/monitor/monitor_name.cfg

monitorname is the name of the monitor executable

File Format

Settings in the device configuration file use the following conventions:

•Configuration settings consist of a term defining the characteristic to be configured, followed by a value assigned to the term.

For example, POLL_INTERVAL 60

•There must be at least one space between the term and each value.

•Comments begin with the pound character (#) and continue until the end of the line. A comment may occur on a line by itself, or after a blank space following the value in a configuration entry.

For example, either of the following are valid comments:

# Valid values for severity_name are:

SEVERITY_ACTION CRITICAL NOTIFY # notify on critical events

Table 5-1lists the common fields used to define monitor configuration settings. In addition to the common parameters, some monitors include other parameters in their configuration file. Any additional configuration parameters used by each monitor are listed in the monitor descriptions in the data sheets for the hardware event monitors available on the Web at http://docs.hp.com/hpux/onlinedocs/diag/ems/emd_summ.htm.

NOTE	An HP-UX man page is available for each monitor. To access the man page, type (where
	monitorname is the executable file listed in the data sheet): man monitorname
