Listing Monitor Descriptions

One of the ﬁrst steps in managing monitoring requests is selecting the proper monitor for the hardware resource. You must know what hardware resources each monitor is responsible for to ensure that you select the proper monitor. Listing the descriptions of the available monitors will show you what hardware resources each monitor supports.

To list the descriptions of available monitors:

1.Run the Hardware Monitoring Request Manager by entering:

/etc/opt/resmon/lbin/monconfig

2.From the main menu selection prompt, enter L

A complete list of the available monitors and the hardware type each monitor supports is displayed. Identify the name of the desired monitor and then proceed with the monitoring request task.

NOTE	For a detailed list of the speciﬁc products each monitor supports, refer to the Diagnostics
	website at:
	http://docs.hp.com/en/diag/
	Under “EMS Hardware Monitors,” click on “Supported Products” and “Data Sheets.” You can
	also refer to the man page for the particular monitor; for example, “man_disk_em”.
