EMS configuration

Nagashankarp — Tue, 30 Jan 2007 10:31:43 GMT

Hi,
I have recently configured the EMS to send out notification for all the hardware.

I wanted to know if there is a way to test if the notification is working alright, i did not want to wait until a hardware fails to find out if the notifcation is working.

What's the OS on the client?

If Windows, there's a Trap Send utility in the HP Management Agents GUI (via Control Panel)
That will send a generic test trap that shows up in HPSIM as a Major Event.

Hi,

What you need is this...

/etc/opt/resmon/lbin/send_test_event

Check out the man page (1M) for more details,

Hi,
It partly depends on exactly what it is you've configured, can you be more specific?

By default, you don't need to set anything up to get notifications of hardware failures from the EMS HW monitors, which is why I'm asking; it sounds like you've set up something extra.

The 'send_test_event' program that David mentions is the way to test the EMS HW monitors; you give the monitor you are interested in as the argument, and it will trigger a test event.

The test event is event 103; note that this is defined by default as an Information level event, which means that it will not be logged in syslog, or sent to root's email address. You can modify the default .clcfg file for the monitor you are testing to increase the severity if you want to check what happens for more serious events. The config files are in /var/stm/config/tools/monitor
