Using S.M.A.R.T. Disk Monitor 161

systems. At release 1.25, we were able to provide a common format and layout for all operating systems. In addition

to the first 10 substitution fields, there are 4 fields unique to Windows ($$11 - $$14) and 8 additional fields common to

all operating systems. These 8 additional parameters either provide field substitution or instruct the program to

perform an action such as terminate the program.

Below is the header of system-generated configuration files which provides details on these fields.

# DO NOT MODIFY LINE BELOW

# Version 1.03 Fri Mar 12 00:26:40 2004

# This file is used to define what statistical data should be monitored

# and reported at each polling interval. It may be edited manually, as

# long as the record format is strictly adhered to. Note also that there

# is one format common to all UNIX releases, and another common to Windows.

# Please refer to the manual for formatting information.

# Record #1:

# Field 1: Physical Device Name (i.e, \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE3, \\.\SCSI2Port2Path0Target4Lun0 or \\.\CDROM0

# (Both $$1 and $$P can be used to substitute for this value)

# Field 2: Log page number (hex)

# (Substitute as $$2)

# Field 3: If Field #4 is P for Parameter, then this is Log page parameter#

# Otherwise it is the hex byte offset to the start of the

# data.

# (Substitute as $$3)

# Field 4: Enter 'P' if field represents the log parameter number, or

# enter 'O' [capital letter O], if it is the byte offset

# (Substitute as $$4)

# Field 5: Threshold value (decimal). If zero, then value will always get read and

# reported (once value read is GREATER than 0). If non-zero, then a log entry

# will be displayed and recorded only when the value read meets or exceeds the

# threshold.

# (Substitute as $$5)

# Field 6: Polling frequency in seconds (decimal)

# (Substitute as $$6 for UNIX)

# Field 7: Can be 1 to 2 bytes. Enter 'E' to send email,

# and/or 'L' to log threshold alert in log file. Enter 'X' for neither.

# (Substitute as $$7)

# Field 8: Length in bytes of the data field (if Field#4 = O, otherwise, set to 0

# (Substitute as $$8)

# Field 9: Field format string -- N (numeric), A (alphanumeric)

# (Substitute as $$9)

# Field 10: The description. 1st character will start with a #, but that character will

# be suppressed for reporting

# (Substitute as $$10)

# Record #2:

# Script or program and options which will be launched in event threshold is exceeded

# Leave a blank line if this feature is not desired.

# WINDOWS Format:

# Both records same as above, with only exception is that fields 1-3 are replaced by the

# raw device driver. i.e.,

# \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE3 3c 11 P 1 E 0 #Time to clean the tape cartridge in Exabyte drive, rack slot #3

# Notes on substitutions

# In addition to field substitutions, you may also use the below values:

# $$P - Substitutes physical device path

# $$11 - Substitutes Adapter number (same as port number, Windows only)

# $$12 - SCSI ID of device to be queried (decimal, Windows only)

# $$13 - SCSI LUN of device to be queried (decimal, Windows only)

# $$14 - SCSI Path of device to be queried (decimal, Windows only) - Most but not all devices have

multiple paths

# $$V - Substitutes the current value read that was compared against threshold

# $$T - Substitutes event log text message that would normally be written to log

# $$D - Substitutes date and time string in default local format for this computer

# $$S - Substitutes time in seconds since midnight Jan 1, 1970 GMT

# $$X$$ - Instructs SMARTMon-UX to terminate the program after invoking the script
