Monitoring Software

[Jade Bulante]

I currently have Predictive Software installed in our HP9000 11x but would like to find out if there is any other monitoring software that would call or page me if the system ever goes down.

Hi:

Check out EMS (its on the SupportPlus CD in the DIAGNOSTICS bundle). Here's the documentation link:

I have written several scripts that do just what you want. Here is an example to follow. This script checks every minute via cron for diabled printers and pages when it finds one.

PRINTERS=`lpstat -p | grep 'disabled since' | awk '{print $2"," $3}'`
set -x
for i in $PRINTERS
do
NAME=`echo $i | cut -f1 -d,`
STATUS=`echo $i | cut -f2 -d,`
if [ ! -f /home/admin/ptrcheck/$NAME.disabled ]
then
echo Printer $NAME is disabled >> /home/admin/ptrcheck/OUTPUT
touch /home/admin/ptrcheck/$NAME.disabled
fi
done

if [ -f /home/admin/ptrcheck/OUTPUT ]
then
cat /home/admin/ptrcheck/OUTPUT | mailx -s "Printer Warning" ##########@pagen
etmessage.net
cat /home/admin/ptrcheck/OUTPUT | mailx -s "Printer Warning" ##########@pagenet.net
fi

cd /home/admin/ptrcheck
for fn in *.disabled
do
NAME=`echo $fn | awk -F. '{print $1}'`
cnt=`lpstat -p$NAME | grep enabled | wc -l`
if [ $cnt -eq 1 ]
then
rm /home/admin/ptrcheck/$NAME.disabled
fi
done

rm /home/admin/ptrcheck/OUTPUT

Can EMS be configured to grab a line and page somebody??
