Using the Event Monitoring Service (June 2007)

Troubleshooting
Testing Monitor Requests
Appendix B 93
A daemon called p_client restarts all appropriate monitors using the
monitor restart interval defined in /etc/opt/resmon/config.
Therefore, a monitor cannot be permanently stopped or started by a
human.
Because the monitors are persistent, monitoring requests are kept when
you install a new monitor or update an existing monitor. If a condition,
such as “status > 3” is being monitored for a resource that has a range of
1-7, and new version of monitor is installed that supports a new status
value, such as “8”, you will start seeing notifications for “status=8”.
