Defining a Monitoring Request
Selecting Protocols for Sending Events
Chapter 2 33
Selecting Protocols for Sending Events
Through the Notify via area, specify the protocol you want the monitor
to use to send events. The options are described in the following sections.
The opcmsg (ITO) Option
This option sends messages to ITO applications via the opcmsg daemon.
For this option to display, IT Operation Managed Node Software 3.x or
4.x must be installed on the resource server running HP-UX version
10.20. This option is not currently available on systems running HP-UX
version 11.0.
The ITO message severity options are:
• Map from value (this is not available on all monitors)
• Critical
• Major
• Minor
• Warning
• Normal
A specified severity other than Normal is returned under the following
conditions:
• When value is . . .: If this notification option is set, a
non-normal severity occurs when the value changes from FALSE to
TRUE.
For example, if a disk is being monitored, you want notification when
the disk is down. The When value is condition is FALSE while the
disk is up and running correctly. The condition becomes TRUE,
meaning action needs to be taken, when the disk is down or not
operating correctly.
• When value changes: If this notification option is set, a non-normal
severity occurs when the current value does not match the previous
value.
