Command reference
prmagt
Appendix A202
The prmagt utility is the PRM SNMP read-only agent. It enables
SNMP-aware products to collect PRM configuration and usage statistics.
Information is updated once per minute or whenever a major
configuration change occurs.
NOTE Secure sites may want to disable prmagt to avoid unwanted information
exchange. If prmagt is to be used, it is strongly recommended that it be
used only on a trusted internal network protected by firewalls and access
controls, due to known issues with the SNMP protocol.
For a listing of the types of information available and an overview of how
to access this information, see “Monitoring PRM through SNMP” on
page 233.
Table A-1 describes the available options.
Table A-1 prmagt user options/parameters.
Option Description
No options Starts a new prmagt daemon if one is not already running.
-V Displays version information and exits.
-plock Locks the agent into real memory. Use this option only on
HP-UX versions prior to 11i.
This option is useful when remotely collecting prmagt data
for real-time indications of system paging.
If memory is not locked down, the paging activities will
cause significant delays and the monitoring tool will only
get time-out messages.
-stop Shuts down the currently running agent (if any).
-interval seconds Specifies how often to sample CPU and disk bandwidth
resource information. The seconds value must be an
integer between one and MAXINT. The default for this
interval is 60 seconds.
Memory information is sampled every memory manager
interval, as set by prmconfig. The default for this interval
is 30 seconds.
