Peripheral Status Monitor (PSM) Configuration File

Table 5-5	PSM Configuration File Fields

	Keyword	Values	Description

	MONITOR_RESOURCE_NAME	A valid event	Identifies the hardware
	(required)	monitor	event monitor to which
		resource path	the entry applies Note:
		name	This must the first
			keyword in the file.

	PSM_RESOURCE_NAME	A valid PSM	This value should be
	(Optional)	(status)	related to
		resource path	MONITOR_RESOURCE_
		name	NAME.
			If not specified, the
			default will be created by
			replacing the word
			“events” in the
			MONITOR_RESOURCE_
			NAME with the word
			“status”.

	MONITOR_STATE_HANDLING	Identifies the type of state handling the
	(Optional)	monitor performs.
		Valid values include:
		NO_UP_CONTROL (Default) - the monitor
		uses the severity mapping of events to
		control the DOWN state as well as calling
		the appropriate API routines to send
		DOWN state messages to the PSM. The UP
		state will be controlled by the set_fixed(1m)
		command.
		UP_STATE_CONTROL- the monitor uses
		the severity mapping of events to control
		the DOWN state as well as calling the
		appropriate API routines to send DOWN
		state messages to the PSM. The monitor
		itself controls the UP state by calling the
		appropriate API routines to send UP state
		messages to the PSM.
		ALL_STATE_CONTROL - the monitor itself
		controls both states by calling the
		appropriate API routines to send UP and
		DOWN state messages to the PSM.
