EVENT MONITORING IS CURRENTLY DISABLED?

[Justin Willoughby]

I ran /etc/opt/resmon/lbin/monconfig and I see this:

EVENT MONITORING IS CURRENTLY DISABLED.
EMS Version : A.03.20
STM Version : A.26.00

With the EMS menu. I don't understand why it's disabled. In /etc/rc.config.d/ems it has:

EMS_ENABLED=1


/etc/rc.log does not show any thing odd with ems starting:

----------------------------

Starting Event Monitoring Service
Output from "/sbin/rc2.d/S900ems start":
----------------------------

How can I find out when EMS stopped / was disabled?

I don't normally run monconfig but I wanted to check a few things and noticed it said it was disabled.

Thanks!

If it is disabled you can always enable it, nothing will happen. Enable it right now.

Take a look at /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log file to see if you can find anything there. I doubt it though, it seems EMS is started at bootup alright, I think it must have died all of a sudden. You might want to check any history file also if you suspect someone else with root access might have kill it accidently, etc, etc. Otherwise make sure you got the latest Diagnostic patches and keep a closer watch on ems daemon. If it happens again, make a software call to HP.

The thing is I did not disable it (that I am aware of). So I would like to try and figure out when and maybe even why it was disabled.

Is it possible for EMS to disable itself?

Hello,

Run the /etc/opt/resmon/lbin/monconfig command.

Choose E)nable Monitoring

then choose

C)heck detailed monitoring status to see what is being monitored.

you can also run /etc/opt/resmon/lbin/set_fixed ???l to see the status of configured monitors(UP or DOWN). Run /etc/opt/resmon/lbin/set_fixed ???n \* if they are DOWN.

Hope this helps

look at the following file if there is anything
/var/opt/resmon/log/ event.log

Sandip,

That's odd, I don't have a event.log file

Then look at the configuration through monconfig. I think it has not been configured to send all the information into the default log file.

Look at the config that whether it has been configured to send it to other places than the default. If it is yes , then look at that file.

While you're checking the log files, I'll answer this ..
>Is it possible for EMS to disable itself?
Yes, occasionally daemons do died, for example I just had cron died on me yesterday and I just couldn't figure out why.. ! But for EMS to just died/disable is rather unusual.
