Startup Conﬁguration File

Considerations for Modifying the Startup Conﬁguration File Settings

While you can edit the contents of the startup conﬁguration ﬁle directly, the better approach is to use the Hardware Monitoring Request Manager (monconfig) to create and manage your monitoring requests. Using the monitoring request manager you can create requests for multiple monitors simultaneously. And the Hardware Monitoring Request Manager ensures that all request entries are formatted correctly.

The only beneﬁt that editing the conﬁguration ﬁle offers is that you can use the COMMENT setting to add information that will be included with the event.

Table 5-2	Startup Conﬁguration File Entries

	Keyword	Values	Description

MONITOR (required)		A valid event monitor	Identiﬁes the hardware
		resource path	event monitor to which
			the entry applies. All
			entries must use the
			resource path for the
			monitor being
			conﬁgured.
			Note: This must the ﬁrst
			keyword in each entry

Criteria Threshold (required)		Valid values include:	Deﬁnes the severity
		CRITICAL	level used as the
		CRITICAL	notiﬁcation criteria
		SERIOUS	notiﬁcation criteria
		SERIOUS	threshold.
		MAJOR_WARNING	threshold.
		MAJOR_WARNING
		MINOR_WARNING
		INFORMATIONAL

Criteria Operator (required)		Valid operators are:	This value identiﬁes the
		%< (less than)	arithmetic operator
		%< (less than)	used with the criteria
		%<= (less than or equal to	used with the criteria
		%<= (less than or equal to	threshold to control
		)	threshold to control
		)	what events are
		> (greater than)	what events are
		> (greater than)	reported. The operator
		>= (greater than or equal	reported. The operator
		>= (greater than or equal	treats each severity
		to)	treats each severity
		to)	level as a numeric value
		! (not equal to)	level as a numeric value
		! (not equal to)	assigned as follows:
			assigned as follows:
			Critical = 5
			Serious = 4
			Major warning = 3
			Minor warning = 2
			Informational = 1
			The event severity
			received is the left
			operand and the
			Criteria Threshold value
			is the right operand.
