monconfig (STM/EMS Monitors) - What does Goto TCP; host=.. port=49440 mean?

[Alzhy]

This is the default monconfig:

>/system/events/cpu/lpmc ... OK.
For /system/events/cpu/lpmc/cache_errors:
Events >= 1 (INFORMATION) Goto TEXTLOG; file=/var/opt/resmon/log/event.log
Events >= 3 (MAJOR WARNING) Goto SYSLOG
Events >= 3 (MAJOR WARNING) Goto EMAIL; addr=root
Events >= 4 (SERIOUS) Goto TCP; host=nirvana.xyz.com port=49440


What specifically is expected at port 49440?

It's for the Peripheral Status Monitor, one of the EMS Hardware Monitors. If an event of Serious or higher severity occurs, it is notified to psmmon, which then alters the state of the resource as shown by set_fixed.

The port is one of the range of general use ports, and is assigned when the OnlineDiags start up.

Note that for disks, it takes a CRITICAL event to trigger the resource to be marked as DOWN -
>/storage/events/disks/default ... OK.
For /storage/events/disks/default/8_0_19_0.6.0:
Events >= 1 (INFORMATION) Goto TEXTLOG; file=/var/opt/resmon/log/event.log
Events >= 3 (MAJOR WARNING) Goto SYSLOG
Events >= 3 (MAJOR WARNING) Goto EMAIL; addr=root
Events = 5 (CRITICAL) Goto TCP; host=hppine44 port=58884
