NAME
mibmond, fsmond, lanmond, clustermond, pkgmond, svcmond - HA MIB Monitor daemon
SYNOPSIS
mibmond [-l][-h hostname ][
-p portnumber ][-t timeout ][-r retries ][-c community ][
-d]
DESCRIPTION
The
mibmond daemon is used to monitor the SNMP MIBs for the Event Monitoring Service (EMS) using
SNMP. The daemon can monitor either local or remote MIBs.
mibmond includes a resource dictionary
file which is used by the Event Monitoring Service to identify resources for monitoring. The program
runs under different names depending on which resources are being monitored.
Options
mibmond recognizes the following command-line options:
-l Write a syslog message every time SNMP is queried for a monitored resource value.
-h Perform SNMP queries against hostname . By default the local system is queried to get the
contents of the MIB.
-p Perform SNMP queries against portnumber . This option is useful when querying proxy SNMP
agents. By default SNMP queries are directed against the SNMP port (161).
-t Wait timeout seconds before retransmitting SNMP requests. By default 5 seconds will expire
between retransmissions.
-r Attempt to retransmit SNMP requests retries number of times before considering the host
unreachable. The default is to retransmit 3 times.
-c The community string to use with the SNMP requests. The string "public" is used by default.
For all nodes in a Service Guard cluster, this community name must be the same on all nodes.
-d Turn on internal daemon debugging messages. This allows additional information to be logged
to the /var/opt/resmon/log/mibmond.log
file.
WARNING: This file grows without bound. Only use this option if you really need a trace.
RESOURCES
The HA MIB Monitor monitors the following resources:
Cluster Status
(
/cluster/status/
<clusterName>)
Running as the process
clustermond, the MIB Monitor can provide status information for systems and
applications in an MC/ServiceGuard cluster.
The MIB variable hpmcClusterState, which is part of the hp-mcCluster MIB, provides the cluster status
information.
Possible values are:
UP The node can access the cluster.
UNKNOWN The node may be separated from other active cluster elements (for example the heartbeat
LAN) and has insufficient information to tell if the cluster is accessible.
DOWN The node cannot access the cluster.
Local Node Status
(
/cluster/localNode/status/<clusterName>)
The status of the cluster software on a given node.
The MIB variable hpmcNodeStatus, which is part of the hp-mcCluster MIB, provides the local node
status information.
Possible values are:
RUNNING Node is accessible and operating normally.
INITIALIZING
Node’s daemon has started, but is not ready to communicate with other nodes’ daemons.
