Restart Message

Ralf Buchhold — Tue, 22 Jun 2004 03:42:08 GMT

Hello
I want to stop the "Restart Message" like this:
>------------ Event Monitoring Service Event Notification ------------<

Notification Time: Mon Jun 21 17:01:20 2004

XXXXXX sent Event Monitor Restart information:

Title: sysstat_em
Command: /usr/sbin/stm/uut/bin/tools/monitor/sysstat_em
Vendor: Hewlett-Packard Company
Version: A.01.00
Monitor PID: 8463

Resources currently monitored:
/system/events/system_status/ui_host/XXXXXX

>---------- End Event Monitoring Service Event Notification ----------<

I donÂ´t find a configuration in the monconfig-tool.
Thank you
Ra

Hi,

Usually to execute the monitor tool you need execute:
#/etc/opt/resmon/lbin/monconfig

Also all .cfg files are placed into /var/stm/config/tools/monitor.

My sysstat_em.cfg have the following content:
#cat sysstat_em.cfg
#****************************************************************************#
#* sysstat_em.cfg : monitor configuration statements for all *#
#* events handled by the system status monitor *#
#****************************************************************************#

#****************************************************************************#
#* These items will appear in the global config file, but are repeated *#
#* here for documentation purposes. They could also appear here to override*#
#* the global values. *#
#****************************************************************************#

POLL_INTERVAL 15 # polling interval in minutes

MIN_PACKET_LOSS 40 # threshold for event 100010

#****************************************************************************#
#* These are the systems to be monitored. *#
#* *#
#****************************************************************************#
#system nonexistant.rose.hp.com # Error case.

Rgds.

Hi again,

I forget idicate you a useful documentation links to this .cfg file:
http://docs.hp.com/cgi-bin/otsearch/getfile?id=/hpux/onlinedocs/diag/ems/emd_sys.htm&searchterms=sysstat_em&queryid=20040622-030421

http://docs.hp.com/hpux/onlinedocs/diag/ems/ems_faq.htm

Please be CAREFUL before disabling hardware event monitoring.

Yes I have the same entries.
I know the configuration with monconfig.
I configured following:
4) Send events generated by all monitors
with severity >= MAJOR WARNING to EMAIL EMAIL@XXXXX.de

This i ok and all messages are ok. But at every restart of the machine, the
"Event Monitor Restart information" is sent.
I have aprox. 70 Servers.
I only want to switch off the Restart Message.
Thanks
Ralf

Ralf,

In my experience, each reboot time diagnostics messages will be processed according your configuration rules.

Of course, if you set DIAGNOSTICS switch to zero into /etc/rc.config.d/diagnostic file these messages will be disabled but your diagnostic system will be disabled too!

Hi Ralf,
I think you asked a similar question before, but didn't mention that this was only seen when the system was rebooted.

What version of OnlineDiags are you using? There was a problem where this message got logged at restart time, and that has been fixed in recent versions, so if you upgrade to a recent revision you shouldn't see the problem anymore.

It's also a good idea to assign points to responses to your questions, so other people can see which are the useful answers.

Ok, I just found the other thread; as I said there: "The Monitor Restart messages are sent by a slightly different code path to the normal events, and can't be suppressed."

So, you can't mask these events out, but I suspect you've got an old version of OnlineDiags, and updating should fix this (again, as I said on the other thread: "(It used to be the case that some of the monitors would log this message on start-up, but that was actually a bug, and recent revisions of OnlineDiags don't show this behaviour).")

Just to check, what version of OnlineDiags do you have? You can see by running 'cstm' and see what version string that shows.
