systems monitoring

[Rick Garland]

Hi all:

Working primarily with HPUX 11.23 on rx4640 systems. Looking to setup the EMS to monitor the systems.

Due to licensing issues, I can only have a couple of systems send the EMS alert messages to a paging application. My thought is to send all alerts to a specific HPUX system and this system in turn will send the EMS alerts to the paging application.

Question, how can I send EMS alerts to a specific HPUX system that will then send the EMS alerts to the paging application? We are using Attention! for our paging application.

One idea would be send every EMS notification to NNM server (If you have one) with SNMP trap and Configure NNM to send pages.

Here is the link to configure EMS SNMP Traps.

No NNM server. No other monitoring software involved. Just EMS and the Attention! paging application.

My initial thought would be to send to another HPUX system that has the licensing to send alerts to the Attention! paging application.

If you go thru monconfig (/etc/opt/resmon/lbin/monconfig), you can set up the monitors to do specific actions for specific levels of alerts. One of the options is to send e-mail. You can specify whatever e-mail you want.

You could specify an address on your machine that has the paging application and have the paging app monitor that e-mail address.

# /etc/opt/resmon/lbin/monconifg

Then A to add a monitoring request and follow the prompts from there.

Thanks Patrick. However this does not address the non-hardware areas of monitoring. Example, /system/filesystem/availMb.

Using this example, I can keep track of filesystem usage for the Oracle arch logs. If this fills up, Oracle stops.

I do not see this available in the monconfig.

UXSGKBQA00000051 will give you an example of doing this under MC/ServiceGuard. Not sure if that applies, but I know some people at least run the HA monitors under SG.

Thanks for the doc. I am reviewing. We do use SG so it might be relevant. In the meantime, close this thread and I will leave the other thread open for the time being.

Many thanks to all.
