Ems Monitoring Messages

[Ralf Buchhold]

I'm getting tired of reading & deleting these messages every day or so.
I can't think of why I'm interested in being informed of EMS restarts,
so I want to nuke them. Yes, I know I could do an email filter, but I'd
prefer to supress them inside EMS. Any ideas?

By default, those messages should only go to the text log, /var/opt/resmon/log/event.log. If they are showing up in email, then there were custom configurations made to send INFORMATION warnings there. This can be easily corrected in monconfig by setting the severity to be emailed about to greater than 1.

Hi,

Try to change the default EMS output for these devices, execute:
# /etc/opt/resmon/lbin/monconfig

Then try the option:
(M)odify an existing monitoring request

To help use "(H)elp"

Hello Ralf,
this is an identified bug of your EMS revision.
You have to update to A.35.00 or more, but be careful : after this update, it won't be anymore possible to obtain this message !!

Olivier.

PS : Please don't forget to ASSIGN POINTS. It is important to us to know if our response resolve your problem, and, sometimes, it is a good way to have more responses !!!

Ralf,
If the system is not being restarted and you are getting these, then there is a bug in the monitor causing it to die, which should be investigated (that's why the messages are sent). The EMS framework restarts the monitor automatically.

What version of the OnlineDiags do you have installed? Which monitors are you seeing the messages from, is it only disk_em?

Is there anything logged in /etc/opt/resmon/log/api.log at the time when the restarts occur?

Ralf,
1. You can either prioritise the Severity from the monconfig for this event.

2. Either Upgrade the STM to A.43.00 As most of the information events are Voided in A.43 ..

Hope this helps ..

Cheers
Asif

Re. last reply; you can't change the severity of the 'restart' events, they are not generated the same way as normal EMS events, and these events are still generated if the monitor has restarted due to failure (which is something we haven't established yet).
