Santosh,

Also you might want to take a look at this page:

How can I disable a EMS HW monitor for a single instance?
A user asks: "I have a disk that is reporting an error. It will be several days until we can replace this disk. I would like to stop the reporting of the error message to the logs until we get the disk replaced. Is this possible?"

The startmon_client program now reads the file /var/stm/data/tools/monitor/disabled_instances. The above file is read before the *.sapcfg file is read and so there is no startup of the monitor for the specific instance listed in the disabled_instances file.

The format of the disabled_instances file is a text file, with each fully qualified instances listed, one instance per line. In addition, wildcards can be used in the instance names to specify more than more instance. For example: /storage/events/disks/default/* could be used to specify all the instances associated with the default disk resource names.

For those instances listed in the disabled instance file, no monitoring requests will show up in the list displayed by the monconfig "C)heck monitoring" command.

NOTE: This does not mean that the monitor will stop polling the device. It just means that any events will not be forwarded to the log files, based on information in the *.sapcfg files.

In order to use the disabled_instances file, the user must perform the following:
Add/delete/modify instances in the disabled_instances file
Run monconfig
Select the "E)nable Monitoring" command
Wait for monitoring to be re-enabled

Hi Santosh,

The instructions that Jaime gives will suppress events for the device paths specified in the disabled_instances file, which may be what you want.

Can you say why you want to stop monitoring the devices? It might be possible to give a better answer than just hiding events. What version of OnlineDiags have you got installed?
