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 |
| 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. |
