ems system hardware monitoring (config addition and modification)

[Bill McNAMARA_1]

Hi all,
Before I wade through hundreds of pages of docs, I'd like to know where to focus an investigation into EMS, system monitoring.

I want to monitor disk hw, cpu etc and want to modify the configuration of error reporting through ems.. where do I do this.

Also, If some of my hw is not standard hp stuff how can I integrate it into ems..

Thanks,
Bill

I have been trying to get the answer for your question. Can we configure our own components to report through EMS?. I doubt it.

But there quite some monitors that are by default monitored. To get list of monitors and how they are doing, you can use the command

/etc/opt/resmon/lbin/moncheck

You can use the interactive command

/etc/opt/resmon/lbin/monconfig - to add/change the monitors.

To look at monitoring non-HP kit, you may want to take a look at the Event Monitoring Service Developer Kit, available for FREE at:
http://www.software.hp.com/cgi-bin/swdepot_parser.cgi/cgi/displayProducts.pl?group_type=category&group_name=HA

As far as changing the existing reporting for standard kit, I am unsure whether this can be done.
