OVNPM 1.5.2 - Performance Agent for NonStop Server Monitoring Guide

6-3-3 FileAvailability Section

The [FileAvailability] section defines the files that must be present on the system. The files must be defined

individually.

OVNPM sends an alert each time that it detects that a file is missing. The following is an example of a file that

generates an alert if the file HOSTS is missing: $SYSTEM.ZTCPIP.HOSTS

syntax:

<$vol.subvol.file>

----------------------------------------------------------------

$system.ztcpip.hosts

$system.ztcpip.portconf

6-3-4 FileCount Section

The [FileCount] section defines the file patterns with a range associated to each pattern. During scanning, the

FILESCAN process counts the number of files matching the pattern. If the number of files is within the range, an

alert is generated.

Syntax:

file_pattern[: threshold]

where:

file_pattern: Is a file name, a subvolume name or a valid file_pattern using

meta characters * and ?. Notice that meta characters are forbidden in the disc

part of the name.

Threshold: is an simple aritmetic expressions using sign <, <= , =, >=, >,

(in|out) (]|[)n,m(]|[) If ommited default expression is '=0'. The ':' sign before

the expression is mandantory. Subvol '$vol.subvol' is equivalent to the pattern

'$vol.subvol.*'

example

$system.sys??.zzsa* : > 12 Send an alert if number of zzsa is higher

than 12

$data.qax*.argno Alert if file number is 0

$data.qax*.argdot2: Alert if file number is 0

$data.qax*.argis10: 1 Alert if file number is 1

$data.qax.*eq2: =2 Alert if file number is 2

$data.qax.*le2: <=2 Alert if file number is lower than 3

$data.qax.*lt3: < 3 Alert if file number is lower than 3

$data.qax.*gt5: > 5 Alert if file number is higher then 5

$data.qax.*ge6: >=6 Alert if file number is higher then 5

$data.qax*.*rdef0: [ 0, 9] Alert if file number is in the range 0-9

$data.qax*.*rin10: in [10,19] Alert if file number is in the range 10-19

$data.qax*.*rout20: out [20,29] Alert if file number is out of the range 20-
