Understanding Multiple-View and Non-Multiple-View Monitor Classes

EMS Hardware Monitors are divided into two classes: Multiple-View and Non-Multiple-View. Multiple-View monitors allow you to specify different event messages (for the same monitor) to one or more targets (“clients”). Targets may have different requirements for events, so event messages can be conﬁgured to be unique for each target. Non-Multiple-View monitor event messages are generated in the same way for all targets.

Within these two monitor classes, there are conﬁguration ﬁles that control the operation of each hardware event monitor. Both classes of monitors use the Global and Monitor-speciﬁc conﬁguration ﬁles (.cfg) to conﬁgure required monitor settings such as POLL_INTERVAL. In addition, Multiple-View monitors also use the Client Conﬁguration ﬁle (.clcfg). The client conﬁguration ﬁle allows you to conﬁgure different event messages for multiple targets.

Monitor Conﬁguration File Types

The following conﬁguration ﬁles control the operation of each hardware event monitor:

•Global monitor conﬁguration ﬁle. The settings deﬁned in this ﬁle are used for all monitors, unless overridden by a monitor-speciﬁc or client conﬁguration ﬁle.

•Monitor-speciﬁc conﬁguration ﬁle. Each monitor includes its own conﬁguration ﬁle with optimized settings. Settings deﬁned in the monitor-speciﬁc ﬁle override comparable settings deﬁned in the global conﬁguration ﬁle.

•Client conﬁguration ﬁle. With Multiple-View hardware monitors, you can create a different Client Conﬁguration File (*.clcfg) for each target. Settings deﬁned in the client conﬁguration ﬁle override comparable settings deﬁned in either the global or monitor-speciﬁc conﬁguration ﬁles.

NOTE	For Multiple-View monitors, settings not deﬁned in the Client Conﬁguration File (*.clcfg) such
	as the POLL_INTERVAL, must be deﬁned in either the Global or Monitor-speciﬁc
	conﬁguration ﬁle (*.cfg).
