MIB Monitor Command-Line Options
Perform additional MIB monitor configuration by using the following
command-line options. This includes the HA Cluster Monitor, HA
Network Interface Monitor, and HA System Resource Monitor.
Specify one or more of the below listed options in the MONITOR statement
of the dictionary file for each monitor. For example, within the file:
/etc/opt/resmon/dictionary/mibmond.dict.
-c community The community string to use with the SNMP requests.
The string public is used by default.
-d Turn on internal daemon debugging messages to get a
trace. This allows additional information to be logged
to the /var/opt/resmon/log/mibmond.log file.
CAUTION The /var/opt/resmon/log/mibmond.log file grows
without bound. Only use the -d option if directed to do
so by your HP Support Personnel.
-h hostname Perform SNMP queries against specified hostname. By
default, the local system is queried to get the contents
of the MIB.
-l Write a syslog message every time SNMP is queried for
a monitored resource value
-p portnumber Perform SNMP queries against specified port number.
This option is useful when querying proxy SNMP
agents. By default, SNMP queries are directed against
the SNMP port (161). If you change the port number on
one system, then you need to change the port number
on all the systems for EMS to work properly.
-r retries Attempt to retransmit SNMP requests retries
number of times before considering the host
unreachable. The default is to retransmit 1 time.
-t timeout Wait timeout number of seconds before retransmitting
SNMP requests. By default, 5 seconds will expire
between retransmissions.
