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
