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.
