EMS CLI Client Application

emscli is a command line utility that is used to conﬁgure and manage

persistent monitoring requests for Event Monitoring Service (EMS)

monitors, such as, HA Monitors, Hardware Monitors and Kernel

Monitors. The emscli utility can be used to add, modify, delete, list and

view monitoring requests and resources. It also allows the user to

generate scripts of the conﬁgured requests. The emscli utility also has a

help feature (emscli -h) to view the usage of various options supported

by emscli.

For more information on the command line options supported by emscli,

refer to the emscli (1m) manpage.

NOTE emscli should be used on HP-UX versions where the EMS GUI is not

available (HP-UX 11i Version 1.6 onwards).

EMS and Target Applications

Target applications receive notiﬁcation messages about the monitored

resources.
