EMS configuration

John Cattanach — Tue, 10 Oct 2000 14:05:54 GMT

Hi,
We're shipping a product with our own EMS target application (c.f. tcp_target.c in resmon devkit).
My question, is there any way to automate the configuration of EMS monitors (i.e. UDP host + port, poll interval). At the moment we're doing this by hand, but once we start shipping multiple machines that will lose it's novelty value.
Any help appreciated,
John Cattanach

Hi John,

what do you need to configure for your EMS monitor?
Point behind that question: as long as you just read from EMS' cfg files you may want to automate changes to these files.

Few months ago I started to shell-script sth like this (currently unfinished and not waterproof)- let me know if that's what you're looking for.

Hi Thomas.
Some details: I'm configuring EMS to send state changes from multiple resource monitors to a specific UDP port. I haven't managed to find any relevant cfg files to do this, so anything you can provide could well help. Nearest I could find was /etc/opt/resmon/persistent but looked like a distinctly private interface.
btw, running hp/ux 11.0, ems ?
Thanks,
John

q1 Can you walk me through your manual configuration change? (sounds like some SAM-resmon clicking...)

BTW q2 are your config changes permanent? (ie survive a reboot- I had some probs with that, so I started to play with d=/var/stm/config/tools/monitor/*cfg)

I'd say one may try to cp $d /tmp then change EMS' config and diff $d with our copies- just to see if that cfg-file approach is what you're looking for.

Probably you find that gif useful- see file att'ed.

Hi Thomas.
What I'm doing currently is SAM, resource management, EMS. Then Add Monitoring Request for each resource, defining UDP port.
I had a look around the files you mentioned, but the only one that seems to get updated when I add a request is /etc/opt/resmon/persistence/m. (these files have text matching my monitor request parameters, apart from the comments).
Regarding persistence, yes the monitor requests have survived a couple reboots, though they seem to disappear if the allied resource monitor crashes.

hm, one may check /var/sam/log/samlog if the user interface leaves some information what it does (eg using /usr/sam/bin/samlog_viewer) ...but not all user interfaces (*.ui) do that.

Good luck- and let us now if you found a way ;-)
