File Names
Global configuration file: /var/stm/config/tools/monitor/Global.cfg
The file naming convention for the startup configuration files is:
/var/stm/config/tools/monitor/monitor_name.cfg
monitorname is the name of the monitor executable
File Format
Settings in the device configuration file use the following conventions:
• Configuration settings consist of a term defining the characteristic to be configured, followed by a value
assigned to the term.
For example, POLL_INTERVAL 60
• There must be at least one space between the term and each value.
• Comments begin with the pound character (#) and continue until the end of the line. A comment may occur
on a line by itself, or after a blank space following the value in a configuration entry.
For example, either of the following are valid comments:
# Valid values for severity_name are:
SEVERITY_ACTION CRITICAL NOTIFY # notify on critical events
Table 5-1 lists the common fields used to define monitor configuration settings. In addition to the common
parameters, some monitors include other parameters in their configuration file. Any additional configuration
parameters used by each monitor are listed in the monitor descriptions in the data sheets for the hardware
event monitors available on the Web at http://docs.hp.com/hpux/onlinedocs/diag/ems/emd_summ.htm.
NOTE An HP-UX man page is available for each monitor. To access the man page, type (where
monitorname is the executable file listed in the data sheet): man monitorname
