Configure SNS watchdog for report with dcl com file

Fredrik.eriksson — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 12:17:56 GMT

Hi again :)

I'm wondering if it's possible to configure PSW (polycenter system watchdog) to use get error reporting for a executed dcl .com file?

The problem is not how to write the dcl but how to configure PSW to use it! Or do I have to print my output to a file and make it read from there?

I've looked at the help in sns$edit> for "help add" and the only thing I can find (which is quite cryptic anyway) is "action_routine_set" to execute my command. But I still can't seem to find where to schedule it or how I'm supposed to get a message returned to PSW.

Best regards

Hi Fredrik,

for adding message in Watchdog, you can use that..SENSE WATCH ADD MESSAGE

Example;

SENSE WATCH ADD MESSAGE "''QNAME', PRINT queue is having problem, please call VMS support!"

SENSE WATCH DELETE MESSAGE "''QNAME', fax queue is having problem, please call VMS support!"

Regards

Have a look at show class, mofify class etc. This is where you define which action routines are fired in response to specific events.

Okey, I thought I figured out how to do it. But the more I look at it the more it makes less sense.

I already have a class named "Default" which contains a bunch of events (all from memory errors to disk errors and so on). I'm at the point where I should add a event with an action routine. Which I think should looks something like this.
SNS$EDIT> add action_routine_set hsz80 /command="@sns_procedures:mydcl.com" /mode=spawn

This is where I'm unsure, i think it should be like this:
SNS$EDIT> modify class /event=HSZ /priority=HIGH /action_routine_set=hsz80

But where can I specify which node is supposed to use this event?

Thank you for the help :)

I solved by writing a dcl that submits a message to PSW via (ofcourse at the right times):
sense watchdog add message "description" /trans=tcpip

And then just made it resubmit itself to the batch queue every day :)
