9. The monitor checks the resource as speciﬁed in the monitor request.

It passes back to the EMS API whether the request is accepted or

rejected.

10. The EMS API provides the interface between the monitor and the

target.

11. The monitor begins collecting data as speciﬁed in the monitoring

request.

12. The EMS API interprets the information received from the monitor,

determines if an event occurred, and forwards the notiﬁcation to the

target applications. The method of informing the target application

of a critical resource value can vary for different target applications.

In the case of ServiceGuard, the client application and the target

application are the same and reside on the same system.
