Using the Event Monitoring Service (November 1999)

Chapter 3 41

Deﬁning a Monitoring Request

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.

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

Certain monitors can map directly to OPC severity levels. This is not

available with all monitors. Select Map from value option from the list

in the Severity area.
