There are many command options for each entity command. For more information, see

Section 6: ASAP Conversational Interface Commands.

Shutting Down the ASAP Collector and ASAP

Monitors

The SHUTDOWN command stops the Collector or Monitor processes. The Monitor

also shuts down all executing SGPs in each CPU. Stop the remote monitors first, then

the collection node’s Monitor, and finally the Collector process. This example shows

the ASAP SHUTDOWN command:

+SHUTDOWN \CHICAGO !Shuts down the Monitor in Chicago

+SHUTDOWN \NY !Shuts down the Monitor in New York

+SHUTDOWN !Shuts down the local node

+SHUTDOWN \* !Shuts down all the Monitors in the network

+SHUTDOWN COLLECT !Shuts down the Collector process on the local node

+SHUTDOWN \CHICAGO COLLECT !Shuts down the Collector process on the Chicago

node

Synchronizing the Time of Day on Selected

Nodes

ASAP can synchronize the time of day between selected nodes. This is useful when

you want to synchronize a monitored node’s internal Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) to

the GMT of the Collection node. For example:

+SYNC \CHICAGO ! sync \CHICAGO GMT time to the Collection nodes GMT

+SYNC \* ! sync GMT time for all nodes to the Collection nodes GMT

The ASAP Collector process should reside on the node where the system

management functions are performed. This node has the correct internal GMT time of

day set. Synchronizing to the collection node typically ensures that the nodes

throughout the network has the correct time of day. The monitor on the specified node

synchronizes that node’s time of day with the node where its Collect process resides.

Nodes should have the same GMT so that availability data can be correlated. ASAP

maintains all times internally in GMT and then converts them to the local civil time of

the Collect server. This lets you view system performance in the system’s own local

time and ignore time zone differences when correlating statistics.
