EMS

[Ruediger Noack]

I got a lot of EMSNotifakations like
"EMSNotification /system/status/memory 49 .."
"EMSNotification /storage/status/tapes/SCS.."
in message browser of IT/O
and I don't know anything about ems.

On the node (sender of IT/O messages) I couldn't find any logs for this.

My problem : Is it important ? How have I to read it ? Where can I find documentation ?

Thanks world

The Event Monitor System can help you to monitor system events. Follow this link to find some basic documentation: http://www.docs.hp.com/hpux/systems/#ems

EMS Notifications give you early detection of potential hardware problems. Additional information should be E-mailed to the root user on the given system and in the syslog file.

Sorry Brian - root mail : nothing,
syslog.log : only "EMS Monitor Restart" message from system startup.
The command to obtain a list of currently monitored resssources ( .../resdate ... ) -
less than nothing !

Rndiger,

you are able to configure the monitors with
/etc/opt/resmon/lbin/monconfig

Using this command you are able to define how EMS should notify you in case of an event. You are able to define the notification method by severity level
Examples for notification methods are: e-mail, console, syslog textlog (by default /var/opt/resmon/log/event.log

More Information can be found in the 'Monitors User's Guide' (link is in my first reply)

Hi Patrick,

the monconfig seems to say (option C), al lot of ressources are monitored, also memory and SCSI_tapes which I see in EMSNotification ...
I have already checked a lot of logfiles - without success !

Ruediger,

the monconifg tells you were EMS sends the notification to. If it's not configured to log into any file, I'm afraid there is no way to recover the last events. And, it makes no sense to search in other log files than configured in monconfig.
An other way to figure out what happened is the event number which EMS reported. Do you still have it?

Patrick,

the full messages in ITO message browser :
1.
EMSNotification /system/status/memory/49
1192427522 "ERROR" != "0" 0 0 Error 0
2. EMSNotification /storage/status/tapes/SCSI_tape/8_8.3.0 1192427525 "ERROR" != "0" 0 0 Error 0
3.

Try the following of the UNIX server generating the messages:
/opt/resmon/bin/resdata -R 1192427522 -r /system/status/memory/49 -a

/opt/resmon/bin/resdata -R 1192427525 -r /storage/status/tapes/SCSI_tape/8_8.3.0

/opt/resmon/bin/resdata -R 1192427526 -r /storage/status/tapes/SCSI_tape/8_16_5.3.0

Also check the file /etc/opt/resmon/log/reslog.html
