What’s in This Version

The A.04.00 version of Event Monitoring Service for HP-UX 11i v1 operating system runs on

the PA platform.

The Event Monitoring Service contains the following:

• The EMS Framework: The EMS framework provides discovery, conﬁguration, and

notiﬁcation for EMS monitors. Depending on the monitor, EMS may actively poll or it may

wait for event messages. It compares the return value with the threshold conﬁgured in

the request. If it matches, the framework sends notiﬁcation to the source speciﬁed,

through a required protocol.

• The EMS Graphical User Interface (GUI): You can invoke the EMS interface from the

Resource Management icon in System Administration Manager (SAM). From the EMS

GUI, you can create, modify, and remove monitoring requests. You can also view the list of

available resources that EMS has discovered on your system, and a list of all currently

conﬁgured monitoring requests.

• The EMS Command Line Interface (CLI): You can invoke the EMS command-line

interface by typing emscli with the appropriate option at the HP-UX command-line

prompt. Use the emscli command-line utility to create, modify, and remove monitoring

requests. You can also view the list of available resources that EMS has discovered on

your system, and a list of all currently conﬁgured monitoring requests. It is also enabled

with a help feature, emscli -h, to view the usage of various options supported by emscli.

For more information on the command line options supported by emscli, refer to the

emscli(1m) manpage.

• The Management Information Base (MIB Monitors):

— HA Cluster Monitor checks the status of MC/ServiceGuard clusters, nodes, or

packages, and services.

— HA Network Interface Monitor reports the status of LAN interfaces.

— HA System Resource Monitor checks the number of users, the system load, and the

amount of ﬁle system space.

• The resls and resdata EMS utilities.

EMS can be used with HP OpenView, MC/ServiceGuard, and any other software that can

receive SNMP traps, TCP, or UDP protocol messages.
