1 Event Monitoring Service Version A.04.20.11.06,
A.04.20.23.07, and A.04.20.31.08 Release Notes
Announcement
In this release, Event Monitoring Service™ (EMS) version A.04.20.23.07 and A.04.20.31.08 are
being released for use on the Integrity and PA-RISC platforms with the HP-UX 11i v2 and HP-UX
11i v3 operating system. Event Monitoring Service™ (EMS) version A.04.20.11.06 is being
released for use on the PA-RISC platforms with the HP-UX 11i v1 operating system.
You can use EMS together with one or more EMS monitors to monitor various system resources.
The EMS product includes the framework and general monitors. You can configure EMS to monitor
system resources through monitoring requests. In the monitoring request, you define how and when
you want to be notified about system resource events. EMS can enhance your high availability
environment by warning you about a single point of failure before it can make an application
unavailable.
Monitors that register with the EMS framework are automatically discovered and displayed on the
EMS interface. All monitors are bundled with EMS dictionary files and can be found in the
/etc/opt/resmon/dictionary directory.
IMPORTANT:
Obsolescence
EMS has been deprecated. Post HP-UX 11i v3 release, EMS will be replaced with Web-based
Enterprise Management (WBEM) based solutions.
Product overview
Event Monitoring Service (EMS) is a framework for monitoring system resources which includes
configuring, checking resource status, and sending notifications when configured conditions are
fulfilled.
EMS contains the following components:
•
EMS Framework - The EMS framework provides discovery, configuration, and notification for
EMS monitors. Depending on the monitor, EMS may actively poll or it may wait for event
messages. It compares the return value with the threshold configured in the request. If it matches,
the framework sends notification to the source specified, through a required protocol.
•
EMS Graphical User Interface (GUI) - You can invoke the EMS interface from the Resource
Management icon in System Administration Manager (SAM). From the EMS graphical user
interface (GUI), you can create, modify, and remove monitoring requests. You can also view
the list of available resources that EMS has discovered on your system, and a list of all currently
configured monitoring requests.
NOTE:
In HP-UX 11i v2 and HP-UX 11i v3, HP System Management Homepage (HP SMH)
is available instead of SAM. For more information about HP SMH, see the latest HP System
Management Homepage Release Notes available on the Business Support Center (BSC)
website at www.hp.com/go/hpux-core-docs
•
EMS Command Line Interface (CLI) - You can invoke the EMS command-line interface by typing
emscli with the appropriate option at the HP-UX command-line prompt. You can use the
emscli command-line utility to create, modify, and remove monitoring requests. You can
also view the list of available resources that EMS has discovered on your system, and a list
of all currently configured monitoring requests. It is also enabled with a help feature, emscli
