Using the Event Monitoring Service (June 2003)

Selecting Resources to Monitor
Selecting Resources
Chapter 6 61
The (*) wildcard is a convenient way to create many requests at once.
Most systems have more than one disk or network card, and many
have several disks. To avoid having to create a monitor request for
each disk, select *(All Instances) in the Resource Instance box.
The *(All Instances) listing is always the first item on the list.
See the figure above.
Wildcards are available only when all instances of a subclass are of
the same resource type and there are multiple instances. Selecting
the wildcard applies the monitor to all the instances of that resource
type. Wildcards are not available for resource classes. For example, a
wildcard is available for the status instances in the subclass,
/system/filesystem/availMb. A wildcard is not available for the
entire volume group resource class, /vg.
5. Click OK.
You will see the Monitoring Request Parameters screen. See
Chapter 4, “Defining a Monitoring Request.”
NOTE You can add a new monitoring request using the emscli -a command
line option. For more information, refer to the emscli (1m) manpage.
