Using the Event Monitoring Service (June 2003)

Understanding the Event Monitoring Service
EMS Framework Components
Chapter 128
When the registrar needs to pass the request to a resource monitor, it
needs to determine if the resource monitor is currently running. If the
appropriate resource monitor process is not found, the registrar starts
the process and waits until the resource monitor can communicate with
the registrar.
The Resource Dictionary
The resource dictionary is the mechanism by which the resource monitor
identifies itself to EMS. The purpose of the resource dictionary is to give
a preliminary picture of the resource structure on a given system. Its
main function is to indicate to the registrar which resource monitors
should be contacted when information is needed about a certain
resource. The resource dictionary defines resources on the local system.
