Overview of system monitoring
System monitoring (sysmon) is a utility that runs as a background process and monitors connections
and components of the device for specific errors and logs them. It has a default policy that controls the
parameters that are monitored and actions to be taken if a fault is detected. These policies include the
type of errors, the threshold for errors to be logged, and the frequency of checking for errors. You can
use the CLI commands to configure these policies.
The sysmon utility monitors the hardware error registers to identify errors and failures. You can
configure the sysmon timer to define how frequently the sysmon utility queries the hardware error
registers. The data generated by the sysmon utility is written to either the sysmon internal log or to the
syslog.
