Disable certain events in /var/opt/resmon/log/event.log

[kpatel786]

I have set monitoring for the file /var/opt/resmon/log/event.log wherein a automated alert will be generated once there is any update in this file. Hence, I want to disable certain unwanted alerts like
Description of Error:
The medium in the device has been loaded or replaced.

I came around the file /var/stm/config/tools/monitor wherein there are various *.cfg files but I am not which is the right file to disable the above event. Any assistance would be a great help. Thanking you in advance.

EMS is configured by running monconfig. Unfortunately, monconfig lives in a very non-standard location so the path is:

/etc/opt/resmon/lbin/monconfig

Use the m (modify) command and look for any monitors that are configured for INFORMATION or MINOR WARNING. The normal setting is MAJOR WARNING. However, historically, the tape monitors have been very noisy (too much junk especially if the tape driver is power cycled) so many sysadmins will remove the tape monitor.
