EMSCCTRL—Control Collector Utility
retrieve event messages. If you have not specified SECURITY after a
coldload, or if the collector does not find a ZZEVCONF file in the default or
system subvolume, the system supplies “COOO” to make super-group
membership a requirement for event-message retrieval.
SUPPRESS { ( suppression-parameters ) | ON | OFF | RESET }
specifies the burst detection and suppression (BDS) configuration
parameter values and enables BDS if it is not already enabled for the
collector. You can change the BDS configuration parameters while BDS is
enabled.
If the EMSCCTRL FILTER keyword specifies a burst filter or a burst filter
was previously added to the collector, and EMSCCTRL SUPPRESS is
specified, the EMSCCTRL generates an error message in its OUT file.
suppression-parameters has the format
suppression-parameter [ , ... ]
and where each suppression-parameter is of the form
parameter [ = ] value
where parameter is one of the BDS parameters (N, T1, T2, T3, L, S) and
value is the value you supply for that parameter. The BDS suppression
parameters are supplied in a comma-separated list.
The values for T1, T2, and T3 are expressed in seconds. The value for N is
expressed in events. The value for L is expressed in bytes. The value for S
is expressed in burst events. For details about these and other BDS
configuration values, see Section 7, Burst Detection and Suppression.
Specifying SUPPRESS OFF disables BDS for the collector. The BDS
suppression parameters in the collector, while disabled, are not altered. If
BDS is already disabled, SUPPRESS OFF has no effect on the collector.
Specifying SUPPRESS ON enables BDS for the collector. The collector
uses the last specified suppression parameters. If BDS is already enabled,
SUPPRESS ON has no effect on the collector.
Specifying SUPPRESS RESET disables BDS and causes the collector to
adopt the default BDS configuration parameter values for its own
suppression values. For a detailed description of these default values, see
Section 7, Burst Detection and Suppression.
If BDS is specified by means of a burst filter, either FILTER ON/OFF or
SUPPRESS ON/OFF can be used to enable or disable BDS.
